Bipolar is thankfully NOT affecting my life these days. I've been more or less stable for over 6 months, which is a personal record. Had a touch of hypomania a couple of months ago, a tiny bit of situational depression more recently, but nothing even remotely close to a mood episode since early January. It's sure good to be able to forget about being bipolar for a while, other than the twice daily medication regimen and writing my blog.
