How’s that saying go? If you can’t fight ’em join em. I think. Anyway what if I stopped fighting my disorders. What if I lived with them. Just day by day. Some days are bad some days are ok. It has to at least be less stressful then swimming against the current.

Sounds good. If you think you could survive long term that way. Or if you think trying to change behaviors that threaten your survival is unlikely to be worth it.

Hell yea just accept it… it took me over 10 years to figure out its okay and know how to deal with it accordingly. I still have bad days of course but just accepting and not fighting yourself is like taking out the biggest road block because now i spend all my energy trying to be a badass at everything and I’m seeing results im doing great at work, got a second job that makes more, about to take my ged, and once i do that i can look into school… so yes IT ALL STEMS FROM ACCEPTANCE, NOT APPROVAL… JUST ACCEPTANCE, IT IS WHAT IT IS.
I’ve lived with mania for decades. It comes and goes. I will say there are certain things I do to stem the mania. Sometimes that doesn’t work and well I land here for a fucking 10th time in a row. Still embracing your mental health struggles can be cathartic. or it could destroy you. It is destroying me tonight because I am allowing fury and mania to consume me. I don’t recommend allowing it to consume you. Embrace and work with yes, consume and decide a bottle of RX is an answer to life’s mysteries is a definite way not to go.
