David is my 8 year old nephew. We are very close. I have told him about my bipolar since he was old enough to talk! Today we made a recording about what it’s like to have an Auntie Wee who has bipolar disorder. I will post it soon! I just asked him what advice he has for people with bipolar disorder:
Well, try to do happy things and not like sad things when you’re extra sick. Happy things like – for me, two days full of getting my legos organized and then I want all of things for the right sets in order so that I know where the pieces are – they are in all giant bin and I’m sorting them now so that’s easier.
It makes me happy becuase it’s fun.
Thank you David!
My nephew David. The love of my life! He is what makes me happy.
Dear David,
Your way of having happy days are like mine – I, too, like to organize and get everything just as I want it. I organized my townhouse this summer, but I still need to sort out and clean underneath my kitchen sink. But not this weekend – I’m a teacher, and I’m getting ready for school to start on Tuesday. There are still several things left to do so that our students will have a GREAT first day!
I hope you have a wonderful year in school – third grade this year?
Sincerely,
Sandra
