Feeling positive or feeling negative - I believe that also for most bipolar sufferers you are able to choose - where you want to live. Choosing positive - is a state of being - However, no one can or will or is able to tell you how - it may be extremely difficult - but the wisdom for positive being and positive life choices - is essentiëly known by every human being - However, you have to realize that. The benefits are being less bipolar - and when negative comes on your path - which especially for bipolar sufferers is inevitable - you will be able to deal with it better and easier over time...Professional guidance and truly listening - to what your surroundings are saying - can be first steps. However, you know yourself best...I chose positive, I stopped caring about social stigma, I quit dope, I try now to make my life better a little bit everyday. I still suffer - because of bipolar, medicine, trauma from hospitalization and past choices. However, I am happy, because I made that choice.
