What do you want? Do you want routine? Because it kinda seems like you don't. And that's fine. What's so great about routine anyway?

You are right! BPForever played the violin and kept the same job 10 years--that is sticking to a routine.
Sometimes routines get dull (like brushing my teeth and washing my face twice a day) but they pay off in the long run. Also, routines like going to bed at the same time every night help keep my moods more stable. I have been diagnosed with BP2 and IMO, I have been mostly high functioning because of sticking to a daily routine. Of course it is great to change up routines so that you have new things to look forward to but when you have bipolar, IMO, it is good to make changes that don't effect your stability. BPForvever recognizes this.
BPForever, having a part time job does give me something to look forward to. If you have a bachelor's degree (in any specialty) -- you might enjoy working for VIPKids (
Teach English Online | VIPKid). I find that I look forward to seeing my students everyday. Kids add excitement to your life from my POV.
