Raw Writing for the Real World of Bipolar

I can't believe it's been three weeks since my last post! Time is flying these days.

I'm heavily into my bipolar recovery phase. I'm doing things that I've never done before and it's working so far. I'm going into action mode and that's great. I feel like I'm actively working toward my goals. I'm feeling better and better every day.

Of course, life is testing me, but I feel able to cope with the negativity thrown my way. The positivity is taking over my life and I love it.

Please visit Bipolar Vida for more details on how I'm making these changes. I'd love to hear from you and see you there!

I woke up this morning to find my bank account full thanks to the IRS! Thank god. We were running on empty. It feels so much better to have money again. At least that woe of mine is gone.

You know, it's so much easier to hold your head up high when things are going your way. I need to find a way to hold it up when things are pulling me down. I have to keep going and be stronger. I need to find a way to pull myself together when everything else around me is pulling me apart.

I'm still looking for answers, but until then I'll keep climbing.

Yesterday I was a guest on HealthyPlace's TV Show. We discussed stigma and how that effected me and how bipolar disorder effects me on a daily basis. I'll be posting the link to the show on Feb. 16th for those of you who want to see it. I haven't seen it yet myself, so I'm anxious to see how it came out.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your support. It's been nice to see some familiar faces over at Bipolar Vida.

I recently read Alphatudes by Michele Wahlder and I was pleasantly surprised. It was just what I needed in my journey to wellness. It gave me good insights into my journey. The quotes were inspirational.

One minor thing that I would note is that I'm 60/40 Agnostic/Atheist and the prayers that accompanied the notes were not for me. However, I found much to think about with the rest of the Alphatudes.

Check Amazon for a copy, it's worth a read!
