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.

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.

In fact, I’ll get worse, not better.

These healthy friendships can have positive impact on your depression.
Doing mental health recovery alone is next to impossible. Those who have the support, love and understanding of family and/or a few close friends simply do better in the long run. If you don’t have those who are supportive in your life I strongly recommend that you find a good positive mental health support group and find the support and care that you need.
For years prior to this interruption I had felt as though I had a monster inside of me that I had to manage.
“When I went through surgery and recovery with my brain tumor people brought meals to the house, cards came in the mail, people called. But two years later when I crashed with depression, I felt forgotten. Nobody called and someone in our Bible study group told me that I just needed to get over it,” said Jamie Meyer, author of Stepping out of Depression; Fresh Hope for Women Who Hurt.
