I too am bipolar. last 'summer' I went thru 6 months of DBT studying. I will start it again in a few months. It really helps reset your mind when you need it. I had to go to a different therapist that was actually trained in it. Sounds like your on top of activities!!! good job. !! !! I have to keep myself art busy in the winter. I HAVE to have 1-2 projects going at a time. Summer is easier for me as I can get outside in gardens and horses. But, when the mind wanders into 'bad' territory, I go back to the DBT information and work thru what ever it is that is on my mind. hope this helps.

I believe in educated yourself of the Bi-polar. It is actually new in the world of mental health. I have volunteer for many different activities. I love old people because they have so much to teach us. I don't have all the solution, but I'm human and this country is only 250 years old. It was founded in God we Trust. Somehow we have lost those simple truths Medicine does not have all the answers. The mind is very delicate and what we believe in moles us and shapes us into the person we are. I love creative people and it sounds you are one. Keep it up and express yourself. Bi-polar people are exceptional in all areas of the arts. I love dance, singing, writing poems and many more adventures. Life is short so keep doing what is best for you. Tom.
