I believe my bipolar depression was being compounded by several issues that I am now dealing with. I just want to say these are my short term to moderate term goals. Get out of debt and be financially secure. Not live paycheck to paycheck.
Get my social life back in order.
Get my apartment clean and hospitable.
Lose fat.
Get a girlfriend.
Get a pet.
Win the Lottery

I hear you on getting your social life back in order - it's currently something I'm working on too!

Best of luck.

The lottery should be at the top. If you do, everything else will be solved.

The lottery would be nice. Mainly I would just like to get me day to day expenses in order so that I would quit running out of money before payday. I would like to be able to enjoy my retirement but am lonely and out of touch.

Hey, don't read my mind, will you!?

Or I'll have to start taking my antipsychotic again.

Sound like very good plans.

Good luck.

Well I want to get married, buy a home, get my EA license, and adopt a kid. We're getting married on the 28th and we're looking at homes. So hopefully I can cross those two off my list. I also plan to start studying for the EA license right after tax season ends. Hopefully all of these things start falling into place and I can achieve them all without become manic or unstable.

-Lose weight (control night eating).
-Remember to smile and compliment people or at least the 'compliment sandwich' to avoid demotivating them, especially my students.
-Think less about bipolar.
-Waste my own time less by doing the right things well, rather than being a perfectionist about stuff that doesn't matter.
-Avoid all or nothing thinking and practice CBT on myself (got a new app called 'moodnotes' that seems pretty cool).

Don't take APs. They destroy brain cells. Take lithium. It destroys the whole brain.

And your kidneys.

Edit:
Besides, your brain will waste away anyway, so better start early.

Sidenote:
Seriously, toxicity and atrophy helps you get prepared for it, gradually. A lot better. Toxicity helps with cancer: cells are creepy, some evil, anyway.

Take 4mg of benzos every day for four years... That'll destroy all of the GABA receptors in your brain and you'll be ****ed.
