Bipolar and doing well!!

[christina713]

Hey u all I just wanted to shed some light on this Bi-polar thing.I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 13 yrs old.I had a period of time where I was really sick.I liked to hurt myself and I wanted to just die.I had during this time a huge amount of hospitalizations.It was terrible 4 me at that time but looking back on this I now realize how much being hospitalized helped me.I learned so much about my illness and I had lots of therapy (which I needed badly)and I also met others like me I could talk 2.Now after all that I am very successful.I am a college student now and I have my own apt. now.I've been out of the hospital for 3 yrs. this august.I'm engaged to be married and all it took was a lil therapy,some medication,and some knowledge about my illness,oh and cooperation from me with my treatment.I am well now and you can be 2.Mental illness is not the end of the world if u want better for yourself.It takes some work to find out what treatment plan it right 4 u but once u find it u 2 can be well.I now have a life as normal as any other person and I plan to remain well with medication.I hope I could help some of u who don't know that mental illness can be treated and that u 2 can be well!! Good luck 2 u all in your recovery!!

My story of recovery is also incredible. A life without downs as deep as the china sea, without ups the hight of the heaven's above, but best of all a life without voices. Without 'Satan's' hated voice to intimidate me nor his henchmen. A life where things are not constantly distorted before my very eyes.
A life without the racing thoughts and the bullet train speech. A life without raging. A life that doesn't constantly change mood. A life without confusion. A life without the will to die.

Praise God, He gave me a life without constant suffering. All those still ill take good courage it took more than five years to get me stable. So please don't give up your hope.
