Live, thrive, survive

Bi-polarbears is fast approaching its fifth anniversary, though, you wouldn’t think it from looking at the archives.  Most of what we’ve removed was down to reading it back and finding it didn’t fit with our updated mantra.
I was reading back over our first newsletters just over four years ago, and wondering whether we were deliberatly naieve, or whether our tone has just updated as we’ve grown up. It was, of course, great information, groundbreaking for back then, but it was also slightly pandering.  We wanted to make waves, just quietly.

NOW – I’m shouting from the rooftops wherever I go.  You don’t NEED to be cowed, to be held back by whatever disorder you face.  I’m back at university this year,raising my kids, living well, and thriving wherever I go.  I’m updating my book on Bipolar disorder, and am looking forward to releasing that officially as soon as its finished.

So in this new year, look at what you’re doing, and how you’re living.  Adjust the things that don’t work – and move with the things that do.

Happy New Year everyone!
