Re: Random Thoughts
Sometimes the mind follows the body sometimes the body follows the mind.
A mate of mine who used to be deep into drugs and bipolar was also spoiled with $ eventually got totally sober and started a business - he found the right therapist who prescribed lithium and became a big brother for a young boy who needed a positive influence (volunteer work) which was suggested by the therapist. He keeps his life mostly simple now. He rescued a dog - that he loves dearly and lives with his gf. He snowboards, surfs and reads during free time. He is innactive mostly online and instead reads or spends time with his family. He has also never met his biological parents. This friend now smokes medical marijuana which has helped him sleep better (the foundation for everything else imo). I’m not sure of his spiritual health but that’s not really any of my business. He’s also a huge Sasha fan. He lives in the same city he grew up in and if you would have asked me 12 yrs ago if I would have seen things workout for him as well as they have I definitely would have said no! He also takes cold showers which he has found helpful for a variety of things. I offer this acct of my friends past and present in hopes that it helps. My other best mate also has bipolar and is now married and owns a home and does great with his work, gets to travel, has a dog he loves. Both of them are also a major inspiration for me and many others who know him.
My best advice - as Didi said - stay open to things getting better - stay open to miracles or the unexpected. Try your best to not feel sorry for yourself because that’s a mountain you are meant to climb mate - not carry around. Best wishes to you. -john
