So what's the first thing that runs through your mind when you find
out your Bipolar ? For me it was denial....
I knew I was doing things that were not normal behaviour for me and
that was causing problems in my new relationship, but when I was
diagnosed with Bipolar, I honestly thought my doctor was nuts..
Sure, I had suffered for years with major depression, I'd been on
alot of medications since I was about 16 for anxiety and depression..
I just figured it was because I had recently got out of a bad marriage
with an abusive alcoholic man, that plus having a new baby in my mid
thirties with my boyfriend that had to be it..
Noway, could I be BIPOLAR!!
When I found out about having the Fibro, it wasn't that hard to adjust
to really... I'd suffered from rheumatoid arthertitis since I was young
so pain was just a part of my everyday life...
But what happens when you have bipolar, fibro, rhematoid artheritis
and your an insulin diabetic??
It seems like your world is slowly coming down around you..
I tried to deny anything was wrong with me at all, to my family and
to my friends because I thought they would think I was a total nut case..
I refused my meds, and I skipped my therapy appointments..
I tried to go about my days as if nothing was wrong ...
That was my biggest mistake!! Always and I do stress ALWAYS take
your meds.. So what happens when you don't take your meds and do
as your supposed to???

I'll tell you all about what happened to me next time ....
If you have any comments on what you think helps you to get thru
your day post them they just might help others like you that are living
with Bipolar or Fibromyalgia to get through their day alot easier..
And you never know you might get some helpful tips yourself to make
your day go by as normal as it possibly can...

Take care and I'll talk to you soon..
