I have to admit I&#8217;m not much of a birthday fan. I find them stressful as I have a party and always think no one will show up. Is that bipolar or what!!! Of course, people do show up and we have fun. I just do happy hour and then karaoke.\u00a0 Turning 47 is hard. It says to me- one more year gone by of depression Julie! One more year of rapid cycling! One more year! And then I say to myself, &#8220;What @#$@#$\u00a0 Julie. That is ridiculous. Depression wants you to focus on age. Life wants you to focus on friends, self improvement, bipolar mangements, work and life in general. How good are you as a person Julie? Do you hurt people? Do you let your bipolar wreck your relationships like you used to? No, no, no! So what if I&#8217;m 47. It&#8217;s great I have made it this far. People with bipolar disorder know exactly what I mean. So good for me! Happy birthday to me. I want to be positive no matter what my mood.<\/p>\n<p>When is your birthday? Please do celebrate it as another year of being able to learn more about bipolar disorder!<\/p>\n<p>Though I have to admit I often hear the first line of a Rolling Stones song in my head when I think of getting older.
