There are many ways to manage bipolar disorder. Loved ones like my nephew David kept me on this planet when things got tough. My friend Karen is my karaoke partner. Singing is a seretonin rush. My cat BiBi is my depression companion. Reading helps as does a trip outside of the rain of Portland. Music is a tonic for many people with bipolar disorder! Speaking and signing books makes me happy. And finally. I know that eating my veges is a good idea! What about you? We all need a set of things that we can turn to when life is hard and we feel down. They can help us get out of some serious mood swings!

When I get into a very depressed state, my cat also never leaves my side, including when I’m in the shower!. But my nirvana, my peace is with my horses. I just need to get by brain to get me up, dressed and out the door. Once I get to the barn, everything disappears and my horses always cheer me up.
Hooray! You posted a picture of Beethoven’s portrait. I knew you were a person of good taste 🙂 Beethoven’s music is powerful and strong and emotional – just like those of us with Bipolar!
Seriously though, I loved this. It’s a reminder to do what you love (even if you’re depressed/anxious) and hold fast to the knowledge that the feelings will pass.
Cheers!
