We cope...coast...deal...because we dont have a choice. We cope or we die, its that simple.

Ask her how she can deal being a women. With all the hormones, stress over hair and what to wear....all the stuff women to through. You deal because its your life. You were born with it and you know nothing else.

I deal but taking my meds, going to the gym, going to therapy, seeing my pdoc, sense of humor (thats a biggy).... I have decided this summer to do some changes in myself. Ive been ruled by my bipolar, Im taking over and Im in charge now. Im doing everything I can to stay one step in front. If I know I will have a problem with something, I take measures to make it easier for me.
