Since my breakdown, I’ve been pretty even-tempered. I took the vow to ignore little things, and it has paid off in the long run. I feel like I’m making significant progress with my bipolar.
I’m noticing that I often have episodes when I’m actively dating people. Right now, I’m going to play it cool to keep the stress levels low.
I’ve officially been back on birth control for a little over a week, and still have stable moods, however I’m still monitoring my mood changes.
Its nice to say that I’m officially happy. No complaints, not really any drama. Just happy day, relaxed living, and the feeling of control over my life.
Advice for those of you trying to gain some control over your life: try dissecting everything piece by piece to see where the most drama lies. Whether its coming from a souring relationship, frenemies, or even stress on the job, try to avoid the stressors and see how you fare in controlling your episodes. I definitely would like to hear feedback from those of you who try this.
I appreciated this post and I am very glad that you are feeling like you have things more under control. I am not bipolar but I have a good friend who is. I will definitely try to take into consideration what she may be experiencing when I see mood changes.
