Sometimes folks with bipolar can get stable enough to do the kinds of things you dream of. Maybe you could even go into business with somebody else, so you wouldn't have so much pressure.....

I am able to have some friends now, who understand my bipolar, either because they have it, or are just decent folks. And, overall, I can say I am "happy."

Some of us, though, do need to adjust our dreams. I never thought I'd develop bipolar disorder and have to go on disability. I had to leave my life-long career. But I do what I can.

I think this topic might be a good one to talk to your T/pdoc about, and maybe they can help!
