I tend to give up a lot. Not on BP meds, my diagnosis is relatively new, but I'm the same person I was before I had the diagnosis.

I'm trying not to run away from everything, which is my M.O. Relationships, places, jobs, etc, but I'm never going to be better if I don't stand still and fight for things for a change.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. It's not abnormal, but please don't give up. I'm just a stranger to you, with my own desire to throw in the towel at times, but it won't make things better.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you probably don't want to hear reasons not to give up, but part of you must want to try. I think control is often an illusion anyway, but when you are stable, those times must be worth it?

Pep talk from from the anti-cheerleader type, but genuine, none-the-less.
