 Sometimes we feel the world has done us a wrong deal. T

hey ask "why?" Why haven't you had the success you should have?

 I never really had a chance to get ahead. My father was an alcoholic, you know.

I was raised in the slums and that's something you can never get out of your system."

"My bipolar medication side effects prevent me from succeeding just as much as bipolar itself does."

These are known as Negative Mental Attitude and if you suffer from them you should keep an eye on my journal.

Having Bipolar Disorder makes life incredibly difficult. If you don't have it, you probably won't understand the hell that is our brains and emotions.

We have to fight back somehow. The way I'm fighting back is by having the correct medications and studying books on positive mental attitude while I'm still up enough to read them. Then I try to hold on to those theories when I feel like crap.
