Bipolar Disorder is not your fault Julie!\u00a0 I say this to myself a lot when I get sick.<\/p>\n
It took me a long time to accept my diagnosis. I was diagnosed in 1995. How is it possible I\u2019ve dealt with severe bipolar disorder since 1995!<\/p>\n
I used to wake up and think- I have a mental illness. This isn\u2019t happening to me!<\/p>\n
I have nothing to do with having the illness-\u00a0 mood disorders are in my genes on both sides of my family.<\/p>\n
I am only 100% responsible for managing the illness. It took these 13 years to get good at it! Now I put all of that experience in my books- it doesn\u2019t have to take you 13 years to get better, that is for sure.<\/p>\n
