In the early days of my bipolar journey, my life was a disaster. I couldn’t work and could barely feed or bathe myself most days. I didn’t leave the house or interact with people. Most of my relationships went up in flames. It felt like bipolar had taken everything from me.

It took a traumatic period of trial and error and close to 30 medications before I found stability. When the world started to come into focus again, I felt like a war survivor sitting in the burned ruins of a destroyed city.

But then, I got to work. My world was going to be what I made it not what bipolar left in its wake. It was time to build a new life, one that I controlled and not bipolar.

I focused every ounce of energy on getting better. I started therapy sessions and put thought into my treatment plan. I worked on developing healthy habits like exercising regularly and eating a well-balanced diet. Even when things felt hopeless, I kept going.

And bit by bit, my life began to change. I got a job, moved into my own place, and started dating again. Some days are still hard, but I never give up because I know that change is possible. If you focus on building the new, anything is possible.

So if you’re feeling like bipolar has taken everything from you, don’t give up. Instead, it’s time to focus on building the new and creating a life that is truly yours. Because in the end, mental illness might be a challenge, but it’s not unbeatable. You can build your new life—one day at a time.

With every step forward, I am reminded that I am stronger than bipolar and will always prevail. So keep going, focus on building the new, and know that you are capable of anything. The future is yours for the taking!

Until next time, keep fighting.
