You have three big things going for you: you're still young, you were diagnosed early, and you have a couple of ideas for things you want to do. As to how to build the life you want, as Standup2me said, it takes willpower-- and you do it the same way you eat an elephant-- one bite at a time. I'm glad you're no longer depressed. That helps a lot (in so many ways) and bipolar can't take away your love for things permanently. Congrats on getting your play produced btw!
