Today is a good day bipolar wise….

I always try to have perspective when I’m well. I remind myself that this is what NORMAL feels like. I get up- see people- work – get on with my day and go to bed normally. I sleep! It’s all a miracle and I don’t plan on wasting it.

I’m entering some new work areas and I’m a bit PETRIFIED about the changes I have to make. I like to read Donald Trump books when things are tough. Right now I’m reading – NEVER GIVE UP!

Bipolar disorder can be managed. I am proof- this is what I say to myself on the tough days.

Writer’s Conference in Oregon

I taught a class on writing self help books today. I always try to get perspective on where things are in my life. A few years ago, I remember walking around the conference and thinking- I want to teach here one day. I want to know the wonderful people who come here!

Two years later I was teaching. Things take time. The first I attended as a teacher I got quite overstimulated and paranoid.

I’m much better this year. I go home early and make sure I get at least seven hours of sleep. I’m eating better. I try to stay calm when I feel myself getting too excited- and I remind myself that I will NOT listen to the thoughts that tell me others are better [ Read More ]
