Did you learn how to walk in one day? Two days? No, it took you the whole first year of your life at least. How about how to talk? Did you learn that in one day? Never making mistakes and always saying exactly the right word? No. that took at least 2 years.

How about how to read? Did you pick up a book and know after the first try all the words?

Nope.

Did you always get perfect marks on your math tests and assignments? Or you essay for English class? I'm guessing not.

So.... why you want to be perfect and get everything right when learning how to cope with bipolar? Why you think there is no room for errors? Did you become a cyborg when no one was looking? And we can just put in a new program? I don't think so....

It's a long road, and it's full of pot holes and detours.
