\"kitten-vampire\"<\/a>Bipolar disorder is episodic. This means that what you are going through today will not last. I remind myself of this when the mood swings are raging. I take myself back to when I was stable and remember that episodes end.<\/p>\n

My work suffers. I isolate. I cry in frustration at what this illness does to me.<\/p>\n

Then I get on with life.<\/p>\n
