It is a hard thing to grasp and we just saw that Dr. Phil and I wasn't happy that he showed someone being violent with their children and crashing cars into buildings.
It's TV, it was explosive.
There are so many people with BiPolar living life with contentment.
For me, once I found the medication I needed, I did not need to drink to excess or do drugs. That urge went away when my brain was functioning better.
I have a professional career and a healthy life, it is possible.
I wish you the best of luck with it all.
