Here they are!

- Dating
- Unrealistic deadlines
- Troublesome people
- Moods of others
- Sleep disturbances such as a party next to my house
- Travel

I don’t date. I give myself time to get things done- this is always a challenge. I say goodbye instead of hello to people who want to make me miserable. I gauge the moods of others and don’t provoke or even comment on their moods if I don’t have to. I have a noise machine, a humidifier and meds to sleep if I need them. I plan for travel way, way in advance.

Having bipolar disorder is like having a child you have to take care of 24 hours a day.

But….. I am mentally healthy.
