Hi-polar Acceptance after 2 years of denial=Peace

[JAGmum]

Two weeks ago I finally dropped the fight of denial I was in, in regards to my bi-polar diagnosis. I began taking my medication again, booked into my psychologist and psychiatrist and began talking to family about it. I have slowly become my own best friend. I’ve been championing my cause by putting my egoic agenda aside and just listening to the experts in their fields. It’s been the most peaceful stage of this rocky journey. And my pottery has taken on a whole new level!

Hello JAGmum, that's great news. It's a good feeling turning the corner. It can be a huge relief too to accept that sometimes we have bad days, and having a plan to get through them when we're well can give us confidence that one bad day is not forever. Can you tell us some more about how you've become your own best friend? I am often quite hard on myself and would like some tips.
