Dear Julie
I’m writing to say a huge THANK YOU. Finding your website has a massive help. Its now down as a technique to do especially for down days. I downloaded all your healthcard package and to start with i found it scarey as to how much there is to do. Once i’d calmed down a bit i went back through it slowly (something i find very hard to do!) and realised that all though i do a lot of your techniques, i had know idea how much bipolar affects day to day life. I always thought thats how everybody thinks! I have been able to implement enough techniques to stop the most extreme and often dangerous things i used to do. I have known something was wrong since i was about 8 but have only had a diagnosis in the last 3 weeks. I am now 29. Since finding out about all the things you have written about i am beginning to move forward to the next stage. Yeeha! Somedays i find this exciting and am looking forward to this journey as i now i can do it as you have also shown me how well i was actually doing (before this episode!) and learning new techniques has been a huge boost. However on days like today i feel like its an enormous mountain and i’m never going to reach the top (must stop putting time limits on things!) Anyway do feel a bit lighter after writing this- the only way is up (hopefully not to far!) Thanks Again
Jo
