Bipolar as a Blessing?

I'm lucky. Sure, I have the medical diagnosis called bipolar disorder. Granted, I have rough days, mood swings, and sleepless nights. I learned to fight, though, and discovered what triggered some of the problems. Each challenge I faced because of my bipolar has given me an added dose of compassion, understanding, and patience.

You might think that's the lucky part. It isn't.

My disorder gives me the strength to guide others who are still looking for ways to fight. And I've mentioned how I pay it forward in past posts.
 
The people I met on this journey . . . they're why I'm lucky. Each one is a blessing in my life.
