Helping you help yourself

     If you are Bipolar don't feel like you are alone. There are many famous people with Bipolar. Here in a little bit I will give you a list of famous people who are known to have Bipolar.
     Just because you are Bipolar does NOT mean you are dumb. In fact a lot of Bipolar people are very smart. For me I am smart when it comes to math and numbers. But when it comes to Science or reading out loud I fall short. And that does not make me dumb that just means that I am human.

   If you are not sure what you excel in there try this. I can't promise it will work for you but it did for me. Get a notebook and a pen and/or pencil. Find a nice quite place to sit. Or if you live in a house with to much going on find some where away from all the commotion. Find a radio, Ipod, MP3 player or computer and play whatever kind of music that helps you think. "For me that would be Progressive Trance Techno."
   Once you have done all that start writing a list of things you enjoying and things you are good at. Like: Running, reading, writing etc. Once you come up a good list read it and number them. 1 being the thing you enjoy and are the best at doing. (Smoking, drinking and sex DO NOT COUNT.)
    Now look at you top 5 things and ask yourself if you can see yourself making a living doing them or if they will help you in the long run. If so then work in those areas and you will excel. I can't promise you will excel cause it is all on YOU and how determined you are.
    Just think about how bad those people who made or make fun of you will feel when you are making more money then them. And now you will feel when you can say, "Yes I am Bipolar but it  does not rule me."
