No.

I can't change what happened in the past, but since my diagnosis over a year ago, I have a new perspective on life. Being BP is part of who I am and I'm aware of it every day, but that doesn't mean it defines me. I've actually embraced it.....getting closer to it has helped me deal with it more effectively. I've turned to things I never thought I'd do at age 50. I meditate, go off by myself all day and climb a mountain, watch what I eat, be overall mindful of my presence in the cosmos. I never did those things before. Not only are they good for me, but they help me deal with being BP.
