Bipolar Disorder
Today is Monday and I’ve been consistent with taking my meds after a short period of not taking it. Currently, I feel restless and as a student bound to resume uni by October, I’m taking the time to rest well and cutting down on activities till I feel my mood is normal.
The reality of the disorder is what I accept and I’m on a journey to recovery and following my passions. I don’t have it all figured out yet.
Several questions have been going on in my mind lately.
Can I live with a career that thrives on energy and is prone to lead me to more manic episodes ?
What will the future look like?
Can I settle for the average lifestyle society wants me to live or fearlessly blaze my own path in life?
How can I be highly enthusiastic about my passions without falling over to a manic episode? As a person living with bipolar, I would like to have opinions on the questions I asked above and learn from the wealth of experience of other persons.
