Hey @June08 - you know I relate to this a lot especially after the manic episode I had last year. I lost my job, the man I loved so much, and everything I worked so hard to build. I managed to keep important things, like my home, my car, and some of my friends, but the things I lost are like a knife in my chest. I often wonder what my life would be like if I didn't have bipolar. I know I would have succeeded at things, or maybe I wouldn't have. My alcoholism is a factor in this too.

I do like the idea of writing a letter to younger self. My sponsor had me do that once, and it was a very interesting exercise. I do wish you a good summer ahead, I know it might be tough with idle time. I know you have a deep faith, so what I have been doing, (which I suggest for you to), is to talk to God about it. Leave your failures at Jesus' feet. That's what I have been trying to do, because everyday I feel like a big fat failure.
