I know, I know it's been too long since my last post!

Well, eight months is a long time between post but I promise I will post more often in the coming year. For last eight months I have been attending a Day Program in my state which is called CRP which stands for Community Reintegration Program. It was extremely beneficial to myself I actually experienced a transformation of myself. I started and still continue to exercise, eat right and I actually have gotten out more often amongst friends and neighbors. So you can simply say CRP did me wonders and change my life forever. Without it I could not imagine where I be today. So with that said I am extremely thankful for CRP and all the social workers who made my life a whole lot better. I would not change anything that took place over those eight months. It was a part of my life that I will never forget. So until next time stay active and safe!

Sorry that I haven't posted in over two months

I have really gone through a lot and have had many depressive episodes none of which landed me in the hospital. But that is not a way I like to look at being stable nor should anyone else. You shouldn't think to yourself that I didn't have to spend this episode in the hospital that I must being doing pretty good. It should make you remember that through recovery you'll have bumps along the way but always know that the road is long but well worth the wait. So until next stay active and safe!

Hope you had a great Weekend

I sure hope you had a great Weekend and what did you think of the Super Bowl win by the New Orleans Saints?
It got me thinking about Bipolar Disorder and how when your first Diagnose that sometimes were given that underdog mentality that there is no hope you might as well as give up because no one is giving you a chance to overcome BP. Well that is wrong same was true for the Saints who the so called experts thought would lose because the Colts were better and had more experience in the big game.
Well that was wrong just look at the 31-17 victory by the Saints. So always remember when your feeling down because of a depressive episode or reeling from a manic one don't ever give up and don't ever give in. Always know that even though you may feel like an underdog that there is always hope for the underdog's of the world. Well until next time stay active and safe!

Hey its the Weekend and Sunday is Super Bowl XLIV

I don't know about you but I am a huge football fan and I can't wait to Sunday to See the Colts take on the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. I am pulling for the Saints but it will definitely be a tough feat to beat the Colts.
Well your probably saying what correlation does this have with Bipolar Disorder, well what a better way to get out of the house and go by your families house or a friends house to have a Superbowl Party. This gets you around more people and puts you in great social setting so you can really enjoy yourself. Even if you are battling Depression or Mania you can definitely use the time away from home and do something different.
Well to keep it short and sweet have a great weekend, plus remember stay active and safe!

Sorry For not posting in quite awhile!

I know I have not posted in quite a while, its mainly because I have had a real up and down start to the New Year. The New Year started off great but that lasted for about just two weeks. I had another bout with a Depressive episode which is currently still having a major effect on me now so if my writing seems off or dull it probably is because I am really having a hard time concentrating on really anything at this moment.
When I am in depressive episode, I know for me everything seems to be going at a snails pace and I feel so Isolated, worthless, helpless, tired, I sleep most of the day because everything just seems so worthless and I figure what's the point to do anything because it certainly won't help me feel better. I know others feel different symptoms from mine if you do maybe you like to share them with me or feel free to share anything that may be on your mind. So until next time stay active and safe!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Has a Healthy and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and I hope everyone has a Healthy and Happy New Year! With that said just remember to stay positive this coming New Year and continue to follow your treatment plan in order to tackle Bipolar Disorder. So until next time stay active and safe!

I know it's been awhile!

I know now it's been awhile so I am absolutely sorry. Things have been okay for me but I have had a few BP depressive episodes along the way. A couple were severe but I did make it through thanks to the knowledge I have and being educated about Bipolar Disorder. One thing I need to avoid especially is isolation. Isolating from the outside world is really a bad habit I have developed and one which has really caused way too many of my Depressive Episodes. Well, I will simply have to practice what I preach and get out once in awhile. Until Next time stay active and Safe!
