Every path we take is bumpy.
Whether we see them as boulders or pebbles determines how far we make it.
If we see the path as only filled with boulders, we get nowhere.
But if they line the path and the pebbles make up the path,
we will find the happiness and peace we deserve.

Bipolar doesn't care if we're rich or poor, tall or short, married or single, young or old. The disorder settles in and tries to dominate our lives. For many people, the fight is so difficult that the symptoms win. Their lives become a cycle of mania and depression that's overwhelming. For others, fighting becomes their way of life. Some succeed while others remain stuck in a loop of gaining a step, falling back two steps, and fighting to move ahead again.
The important part is fighting. Working to keep the disorder under control as much as possible. What works for one person might not work for another. Something that helps me might not help someone else. That's OK. Adapt something to fit. Like shopping for clothes. Try on several before you find the right one.
