Living with Bipolar Disorder
Im 39 years old and have had Bipolar since 1981.At that time it was called Manic Depressive Disorder.I was taking alot of different medications.They weren't helping.I was in and out of different mental hospitals.It took 2 years to finally find out exactly what I had.I had a struggle in school.I was on the honor roll for 3 years of highschool.I did work while having the disorder.3 years ago I had to give up my job.I couldn't handle stress that the job had.I also was having problems with my marriage.I have a 17 year old daughter tht has Bipolar also.So my now X husband didnt want to do with our problems.Im living with my parents and my dad as well has bipolar.Yes I agree it is hard to live with.The key thing is take your meds see doctor regularly and have lab test done.You can live just as much of a normal life as some one with no medical problems.It just might be a little harder.Im doing it and so is my daughter.She will be graduating from highschool with a GPA of 3.7.I say to everyone just put your mind to it,trust in Jesus.Thats how im living.God Bless To All.Have Faith.
