It doesn't stop

I was diagnosed bipolar 31 years ago.  It runs in my family (father, mother and sisters) and of course me. Never gets easier ànd the roller coaster ride doesn't stop.

At 57 I should be able to handle it better as I get group therapy/have a therapist but I go back to bad habits in drinking sometimes (sober 2 months) and poor diet. Get plenty of sleep as I'm bipolar 2. Just looking for support. Been in the dark tunnel too much. 


Thank you for reading

It is hard work to always stick to things we know will help us.... in the long run diet and lifestyle modification to help with a condition .... we all fall back to bad habits and make errors... 

You are ahead of the game for realizing it and speaking up ... that is a sign of someone really trying .... to deal with an item most of us might not even understand..... try your best and remember we all fall sometimes.

With BPD we fall a lot !😞

I am in my fifties too and still fighting and trying to have life. Sometimes I feel that nothing will never change.
