I was quite ill in January. I just had three days of major mood swings last weekend.
Today I am fine.
It’s so important to remember that bipolar disorder is an episodic illness. It literally can come and go. I feel like I have to do my best work between the mood swings!
Hang in there if you’re sick today- when you use a treatment plan that works- and when you work on your triggers, you can definitely get better.
Sometimes there are no triggers and the illness just shows up and stays too long. That can get better as well.
It’s up and down with bipolar, but there can also be long periods where it is just in the middle and you can get on in life.
