At times, when I look back to the discovery of my diagnosis, I'm amazed at the journey that brought me to where I am today. Each episode of mania and every low period taught me more about the disorder and how it affected me mentally and physically. That doesn't mean I'm free of the symptoms that plague others with bipolar. Far from it. However, because I've learned what triggers the highs and the lows, I can steer clear of those things.
On the other hand, there are times when I miss those triggers and the mood shifts so fast I can't stop it from happening. The only good part is that I usually can shift it back to a normal mood just as fast.
