Is that I have Bipolar disorder. My close friends didn’t believe me when I told them. They say I’m so upbeat, positive, always cheerful and smiling. Well, that is true of me, now.
I suffered with unexplained mood swings for many years, exascerbated by some very deeply traumatic life experiences. Finally, after having trialled umpteen medications, I got hold of a psychiatrist who hit upon the right kind and right combination of medications for me. I’ve actually reduced my dosages drastically over the last year, and am still doing absolutely fine. The only thing is that I need a tad more sleep than the average yogi bear, and tend to take things a bit more slowly and gradually than I used to. I also think I’m actually finally growing up a bit, though also learning more to relax and have fun.
Anyway, if you are reading this and you also suffer from bipolar or have a rellie who does, don’t hesitate to contact me for advice or support.
