Self-acceptance has played a huge part in me being emotionally healthy. I see my bp as an extention of me. Not something to be feared and run away from. Idk how to be unipolar, I doubt I ever was, and trying to be, wishing, praying to be, just made me even more sick and miserable. The flipside of that coin would be focusing on the bp with a magnifying glass, that made me miserable and ill for a long time too, coz every action, every emotion was questionable, so I don't do that either. I took my power back, bp doesn't dictate my every action. I am ME, just with bp.All that means, is that I have to be careful in certain situations, eg alcohol, people that press the rage button. And also, just to learn to flow with the mental and emotional punches. Sure I get knocked down, sure it hurts ALOT at times, but atleast I KN0W why it's happening, and that it's TEMPORARY it's a personal journey of self-acceptance, a path you have to find for yourself. Maybe a T would be beneficial. Good luck
Thanks for this!
