Oh my goodness!  Our blogs and writings can be so depressing sometimes. It’s easy to write about what is wrong with bipolar disorder and lose focus on the many things that people are doing to positively change their lives for the better!

It’s natural that we want to know our symptoms and what we need to do in order to stay stable, but we also need to focus on what is going well in our lives in order to stay happy!

I love making jewelry. Others are artists, karaoke singers, love working on old cars and are sports fanatics. It’s important that I remember that even though I deal with bipolar disorder daily, it is not the majority of my life. I have a great life outside of this illness and the more stable I become, the more I get to lead that great life!

What do you like to do that creates something wonderful? Can you do it even when you are not feeling well?

I believe in you!
