Amen to this,,,knowledge is power!!

"Knowledge is power when it comes to bipolar disorder. Understanding the disease through this type of bipolar therapy is an important first step in managing it."

So very true!! Speaking from my own experience, you have to learn all you can, not just about bipolar, but any chronic illness you may be dx'd with. I went through hell the first year or so after my dx. I was in and out of the hospital for 18 months; I had no clue as to what was going on. It wasn't until I started to educate myself that I began to show any signs of healing.

Currently I am trying to get a better handle on my diabetes as I did with with my bipolar. Tho I will admit I am struggling. I think it comes down to accepting the fact that I am diabetic. It's live and learn!!
