Like many other bipolar patients, I struggle with weight. A number of my medications have the side effect of weight gain. Other side effects include a slowing of cognitive function and speech. It is no wonder my metabolism is slowed.
ganar, este "viaje del bienestar" no es un viaje de perfección. Es un viaje de progreso imperfecto. Para hacer este viaje, tú y yo debemos estar dispuestos a aceptar el hecho de que nunca vamos a ser perfectos. Nadie es perfecto. La recuperación, que yo defino como retomar la propia vida de una forma nueva, se construye sobre fracasos de los que aprendemos, nos levantamos y seguimos avanzando. Avergonzarnos a nosotros mismos y creer que un fracaso nos convierte en unos completos fracasados es simplemente una mentira salida directamente de las fosas del infierno. Todo el mundo fracasa. Todo el mundo se queda corto. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre los que deciden rendirse y creer la mentira de que son unos completos fracasados y los que tienen éxito? Es sencillo: entender que avanzar es un progreso imperfecto frente a la perfección.
Remember that the one source that a person should use as a basis in managing their fears and anxieties is using God as a basis in dealing with their fears. Why? The power of God is the one power that is stronger than your fears and anxieties.
It’s way to easy to remain emotionally stuck and continue to ruminate about something over and over. But, that only makes one emotionally toxic within a short time.

In fact, I’ll get worse, not better.

Helping and giving to others gives temporary relief to one’s overwhelming circumstances. It has the power to cause a shift in one’s perception of their problems. Time and time again I have seen people going through tragic events in their lives step out of their pain to help someone else. By giving to others their focus changes.
I constantly seek to find something I can control. And therein lies the issue, I’m trying to control things and not be patient. During this particular time, I found one of my study books which gave verses for particular areas in our lives. I looked through it and asked God to show me what He wanted me to do. I read for awhile and came across Psalms 37:7
One lie of depression is: I will never get well. This lie locks us into a sense of hopelessness. Other thoughts then follow: it won’t do any good to seek help and there is nothing I can do to get better.
The truth is that you can get well. There is help for depression. There are things you can do to manage your depression.
