Bipolar 1

I’m battling a depression.

Bipolar 1 diagnosis with no professional attention.

I do what I can.

Stay sober and move when I have to; across the land.

The world is chaos yet I can find peace to remind me of why Im trying.

To carry on.

Push the envelope of fitness as a quick fix; a band aid.

I cant stand being laid up feeling hopeless.

Its like being dope sick.

Anyways thats all I have to say about this bullshit.

Checking in; Journal.

My three years of sobriety date is coming up and I ordered myself some shit to celebrate. I’m currently battling bipolar depression but I have lots of tools at my disposal to win the battles. The weather has been very cool and rainy, I welcome it with open arms in August when we are usually in a heat wave and the city is filled with forest fire smoke. Its been a fur baby summer as I adopted 2 rescue kittens (Puma and Dreamer). And my parents got a new puppy (Shiva). All the cats and pup are healthy, happy and doing well.

I just want to get by, and be a survivor. I am happy with a simplistic minimalist lifestyle. I’m still a junkie but I dont seek endorphins through substance any longer. Third time getting sober and I suppose third time is a charm; I’ve never made it this long.

Signing off.
