Living With Bipolar Disorder Quotes
Bipolar robs you of that which is you. It can take from you the very core of your being and replace it with something opposite of who and what you truly are.

At least when I was an adult, I had a name for what was wrong with me: manic depression. It’s easier to make sense of things — even very disturbing things like sexual acting out and suicidality — when there’s a big, fat label slapped on top. But as a child, I knew nothing. I had no diagnosis. All I had was a vague and gnawing awareness that I was different from other children, and that difference was not good. Different must be kept hidden. ― Terri Cheney

We must let go of the life we have planned, for the one that is waiting for us. ~ Joseph Campbell

It isn’t under one’s control as to when the sun comes out, but come out it will. One day. It is the same with one’s moods, I think. The wrong approach is to believe that they are illusions. They are real. Depression, anxiety, listlessness — these are as real as the weather — AND EQUALLY NOT UNDER ONE’S CONTROL. Not one’s fault. But they will pass: they really will. ― Stephen Fry
I’ve come to conclude every day is different. I’m accepting that some days will be bad. But I have to remind myself that the next day can always be better.

It robs you of the insight that things can and will be different, better. ― Melody Moezzi

Hostetler

To find the connections of these invisible threads that reach from past to present, I accept that no one perspective can make sense of it all.
