The third then was to consider where I could restructure that pie finding places to squeeze back in what I'd like my life to look like. The exercise was supposed to be about recognizing what I've allowed to take over my life and where/how I could realistically change that. Just a thought.

My onset was in 2011 and I was diagnosed in 2012. I was out of control with my moods. My symptoms were off the chart. I thank God no risky behavior or drugs. But I liked the clubbing scene tho and would hang out on the weekends. My limit was always one or two drinks if I had any at all. In 2013 I moved out of state and started getting admitted to MI hospitals. I was dealing with so much. I was dealing with not being the old me. The me before the onset. I had a decent life....had a nice job. I hated my life in 2013. In 2014-15 I kinda started coming around and accepting that things will be ok. That I'm surviving in this new life. This year 2016 I started taking steps to build on in this new life.
