I haven't self harmed in over 3.5 years
My coping skills are coming out without me having to " think to use them"
When someone tells me I'm pretty.. I believe them.
I feel good in my own skin, finally.
I decided to do a 30 day vegetarian life style . 2 weeks in and I feel much better.
I am kinder to myself.
If I need to take time for myself.... I do it.
I have found some help with my chronic fibro pain.
I could go on ... but the end result is I have worked really hard to find this place... I know Bipolar will slap me hard one day.. But I am not going to waste time wondering "when" I have overcome so many things and put to rest some much that I can not change. I no longer feel tortured over things in my past.
Many of you "ole timers" have seen my struggles and cheered me on when need be and celebrate with me when I reached every goal I have reached for. Huge thanks to everyone.
For those struggling with Bipolar and the hell it brings... Please know and somehow remember that it can and will get better if you work at it,
Bipolar cycles, it always cycles, only consistant thing it offers us.
I hope everyone can find a serving or 2 of contentment. There is always a few things to be thankful for. Reach out and grab it.
