\"bob-marley-iquote-positive-day-22307\"<\/a>Today is a good day to focus on the many POSITIVE bipolar disorder stories I know:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– My friend Marsha was in and out of the hospital for all of her 20’s.\u00a0 She now\u00a0has the right treatment plan with a good med and has not been in the hospital for ten years! She is also in a stable relationship.<\/p>\n

– After 22 tries, I found medications that ended my depression.<\/p>\n

– An ex of mine wasn’t able to work due to office stress. Once he found the right job, he can work full time and loves what he does! (Management didn’t agree with him at all.)<\/p>\n

– People with bipolar get sick all of the time- it\u2019s the\u00a0 nature of the illness, but I know many who still live the life they want.<\/p>\n

Fishing guide, gardener, teacher, business owner, speaker and writer. (All friends!)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I monitor my friends\u2019 moods closely and learn a lot.<\/p>\n

There are those on this site who went\u00a0back to school after years of being sick, received masters degrees- \u00a0even\u00a0though\u00a0it took many years.<\/p>\n

You can raise wonderful children and maintain strong relationships with your children.<\/p>\n

Parents take heart! People with bipolar disorder DO get better and can create a life that incorporates their loves, dreams and goals into a management plan that works.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m writing a book right now! I just write less on the tough days. I never stop writing. It keeps me alive.<\/p>\n

Never give up. Time changes everything.<\/p>\n
