Bipolar disorder is a life long illness that affects millions of people each year. Most of them go on to live normal and happy lives because they learn the coping skills they need to empower themselves.
You have a choice. You can choose to live a happy and full life that makes you happy by making sacrifices now or you can continue to make decisions that affect the quality of your life and those that you love. While the road to a good life can be one that is filled with struggles and often the feeling of having to give things up, it is one that will ultimately reward you with a longer, healthier life.
These coping methods are just the start of your journey. Soon you’ll be able to see the things that effect you yourself and you’ll be able to rein them in. You can improve the quality of your life by simply managing these aspects of it.
You are worth the work it takes to improve. You alone can make the decision to change.
