And then what? It is the same as and NOW what?
Life with a mental disorder is never easy on the one afflicted and for the people in our environment.
Simply put I had another episode although lately I have not had a full blown manic episode they are so rapid that the hypomania sneaks up on me when I least expect it. Life as a bipolar is stressful for everyone not only for the one experiencing it. I should know better and try to control the symptoms which may seem inviting however I know that given the chance I would give up the hypomania and live a life without the constant upheavals. But I know that it will never happen, so the most I can achieve is to try to control the symptoms that I can and lessen the outcome of my erratic behavior. This mean no more spending money. To attain my goals, which presently is getting out of this housing program, and move to a more suitable place, I have to learn to control money and put an end to the drastic spending.
With the strain on my financial situation there is no stability of my moodswings. So stability or a constant life living check to check? I do not know the answer no This month however, I did do better although the month is not over I can see light and next month it should be easier and hopefully I will be able to save a little, this has not been since I have been in this program. So I do have goals I did not agree with the casemanager when the subject of saving came up I have my own goals and not the same as the organization would like but the basic goal is the same. I do have to save however, they are not the one who decides how much and how often. The organization seem to think that we are not capable of making our goals come true but I know that I can. My favorite saying is I can because I am so we continue the fight for independence and my foremost goal is to leave this program and find my own way of life the only way that I know the struggle of returning back to life as I know it will be worth the fight. But in the end I will win in the end and the circle will be complete.
