I'm a bipolar alcoholic, coming up on a twenty-year-sobriety birthday. I had to search for the right pdoc who would work with me to find the best possible meds for me & not settle for something that was good enough. I am beginning with a new therapist, and my medical doctor is also an active member of my support team.
It's not easy to keep going day after day when you're bipolar, but with the right support I'm doing it. Some days are better than other--rough times come. This place is major in keeping me afloat. I bring silly, fun things in guaranteed to bring at least a smile.
Start collecting silliness. Invite fun. Watch birds. Dare yourself to find something happy. And keep posting ... this is a good place to be.
