So many of us with bipolar want to lose the depression and keep the euphoric mania.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Mania is a sign of illness just like depression is a sign of illness.
Maturity around bipolar management means that we accept we have to let go of Mania if we want to be stable.
Aargh! It’s no fun! It’s not fair! But it saves our lives and our relationships.
Mania is one side of the bipolar coin. Depression is the other side. Same coin. Same illness. I wish our mania paid us in Bitcoin!
