The Bipolar people that I know that are staying on their meds are doing okay and you would be hard pressed to know they were not normal people. But they have had to be patient and do some fine adjusting of dose. This has meant frequent trips to the doctor but the change has been almost miraculous. Good luck.
What was stopping me from getting what I want is that just recently I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I never understand my mood swings. One day I could be with good plans for the future but the next day I would be depressed and not working at all. These up and downs interfered mery much with my professional life.
For about 1 month now I have been on meds for the bipolar disorder and I already feel an huge improvement in my mood and sleep. In this way I think that having the proper medication plan would help me get what I want because I consider myself an organized person (but not perfect!).
HI Ashley: I suppose in the beginning it was the family responsibilities as a mother and wife, later laziness and fear. Laziness because it is so much easier to just walk away. Fear because, oh my gosh, it has arrived, my time to do this. In my heart and my mind, I am going to do it. I know I will. I may fall flat on my face, but I don't care, I will have tried and that is what will make me happiest of all. Out of all my art I wish to do, something good will come out of it - could be physical, could be mental, spiritual, whatever, but I am very eager and very excited to get started. It will be soon. I will have my very own studio. This is something I have always wanted and it is a bit scary - but oh, so exciting too.
Hi Ashley: What I want is to be an artist - have lots of artwork around the house and people asking to buy a piece. What's stopping me? Nothing (money helps though, to be honest), so jus t go to it and DO.
