Don\u2019t make decisions regarding your medicine without your doctor\u2019s input and approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t do street drugs. They interfere with the prescribed medicine. Yes, even marijuana does. You certainly won\u2019t get better because of them and they will most likely only impede your recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Know the difference between emotional issues versus the symptoms of what you have been diagnosed\u00a0with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose to believe that you can live a rich life in spite of this disorder or you can become the victim of it. \u00a0You get to decide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Know that you are not alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, the single most important thing is to remember, know and hold to- that the Lord is with you. \u00a0He has not left you. \u00a0He won&#8217;t leave you. \u00a0He won&#8217;t give up on you. \u00a0He is for you. \u00a0And He will take what you are going through right now and work it together for your good. \u00a0Listen to or read His word. \u00a0If you can&#8217;t read the Bible, listen to it or listen to Scripture songs. \u00a0It will feed your soul and bring inner peace.<\/p>\n<p>These are some things that I have found true for myself in the recovery process since I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder some 23 years ago now. \u00a0What have you found?
