Okay, you all remember this from high school, right???

Whatever we place our energy and focus on will become our reality????

That's true in our lives as well. Our brains are so powerful. We have so much energy to expend and when we focus all of that energy onto something negative, what else COULD happen?

I spend a lot of my time doing just that. It takes conscious effort to realize just how much time and energy we waste on negativity. But take some time out and really think about it...time and energy wasted, that we'll never get back.

If you want positives in your life, focus only on them. Fake it til you make it. Something else we MUST do. Yeah, so we wake up in the morning and feel like CRAP. Take that shower anyway. Put on something other than your ugliest, fattest, clothes you can find (i do this, which is why i am using this example). Blow dry your hair, GET UP. Smile at someone, you don't know...they might be dealing with something worse than you are. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Eventually, your brain will realize that you aren't going to just lay down, with a frown on your face, stay in bed, and do nothing...the easy way out.

Fake it. Focus your energy on something positive. Start slowly...but start.

I learned a very hard lesson this week. I can't really say what it is right now. But it deals with my selfishness. Something that I knew would be coming up soon. Something that had been in the back of my mind for a long time now. I will never again let BP get me down. Yes. I will have episodes. But it will never beat me up like its done for so long now...because ya know what? I let it...I even asked for it. As sad as that might sound...its true. Because the more sick I was, the more attention I got. But it backfired on me. I almost lost...but I didn't, ha ha. And I won't.

Fake it, fake it, fake it...and take your meds. LOL.

I finally finally finally got my pdocs to stop overmedicating me, and letting me take small doses of the meds and they work so well. I can finally rebuild the life that BP and myself too, took.

You guys, we can all do this! We're always going to have setbacks, and stress, and depression...and mania...but so what? That's BP! We have to fight it. Minute by minute by minute. Togetherness is the key.

Who's with me?

i'm with you keli! finally having a pdoc that has me on meds that work and a tdoc that was able to get me to see exactly what you just said. not to mention a 12 step group that has "fake it 'til you make it" as one of their slogans.


right now i'm in a decent place and can see what you are saying. something i wasn't able to for so very long. i just hope that even if/when setbacks occur you will remind me of this. i'd like to fool myself into believing there won't be anymore setbacks but i'm bipolar and that's all there is to it.


today i choose to live a productive life and not get caught up in the what ifs of life and worry and obsess over everything.


hugs,
