This morning I heard an interview with Olympics swimmer Eric Shanteau. He was diagnosed with cancer just before going to Beijing but his doctors gave him permission to postpone his surgery until after the Olympics. Eric said the best advice he received was from his father, currently battling lung cancer -- he said "I have cancer, it doesn't have me."
I think that applies to us, as well. Don't be defined by your bipolar, it is just a small part of who we are. I'm going to try to keep that thought in mind as I battle the ups and downs of this disorder.
Best of luck to you all, and I hope that today is a good day for every one of you!
Hugs,
Linda
