Even with this illness you can lead a productive life. Much of my life I was untreated and searching for ways to deal with an illness that I did not even know that I had. I have tried many things in my struggles years past. I have learned to find ways of relaxing and doing things to help occupy my mind. People with Bipolar are some of the most creative individuals in the world. It is not a death sentence to be ill with bipolar. I have been at some very low periods in my life where I thought I would never see the light of day. But I am surviving one day at a time. Enjoy simple things in life. The really simple things are long remembered and the complex are lost in our memories. I have decided with my illness at my age now that I will try my best to live as fully as I can. I find that writing my thoughts down I am able to gain insights into this illness. Some of my own family have long since stopped contact with me. It has nothing to do with them but the misunderstanding of a very complex illness. In today's society mental illness is still a taboo to many people. They are afraid of it. We on the other hand live with this illness daily and somehow we must learn to live with it. In your journey through this life I wish you success. I hope that this website if you have stumbled accross it can give you a little peace. That is all I am trying to do. As I type this my thoughts are racing through my mind. This morning I also had strange disturbing thoughts, but I am determined to make it another day. The thoughts will in time pass. I hope this animated video will calm you! |
