I been steering through cycles. I was blessed to be introduced to some others with bi-polor and recommend that if you are diagonosed with it that you get into a support group that way you can see the hues of the illness from dark to lighter versions of yourself as if looking in a mirror.

<font color="purple">more and more I am becoming aware of my changing cycles.... there are many times when i can feel the onset and tell what cycle it is that is coming... sometimes i can work right thru it and sometimes I cant..... My husband and my best friends are usually able to tell before me that I am about to cycle.... some ways that I can lessen the storm are:
* writing it all out... every ounce of what I am feeling no matter if it makes no sense of not .. * talking with those that are close to me about what I am feeling and what fears or concerns may need to be addressed... * talking with a professional in a safe environment helps me feel just that, safe... * taking time off from work and staying away from triggers and anxieties.... These are just temporary helpers.... I encourage counseling, meds, and learning as much as I can about my disorders, issues, and self.... good luck in your journey.... stay safe.... </font>

I really like the suggestion of a support group. I have been diagnosed with bipolar about 23 years. I don't know how many years it took me to accept that diagnosis but it was many. I really need some support outside my family to help me sort it out.
