Being self, standing proud and emnbracing our differences

Post Reply New Topic

In reality within the world others often avoid me, because I exhaust them, that I do understand. I can play the part which is also exhausting, but never been a nob, smile person. Some feel I should act the part to fit in, done that been there doesn't work, I end up frustrated and anyway happy being me in my own way. And to be honest society is often what causes my anxiety, as they try and mode me into an appropriate model that works for them, not me!

I have a combination of neurological differences which includes bipolar (type 1) understanding and accepting who I am has helped a lot, but also knowing my triggers, leading a balanced life style that works for me. Exercise has really helped control my manic peaks, having like minded to share and understand, those that do not judge but allow. As I have found one of the most frustrating things is others thinking its all us and if we did this etc... I have always been the way I am and these days quite happy and within my extremities I am more creative, its not all bad, like most people we all have negatives and positives.

As everyone is different, it varies how it affects individuals, but for me it knowing when to retreat into my cave and look after self, not doing what other except, learning to say no without always feeling a need to explain, just being really, bipolar described a part of who I am, but so much more to me
