Hi friends:

I sometimes forget that I have to manage my illness. I start to slack off with my meds, exercise, my routines. 

I want to pretend like I am cured. I will never be cured. Like Diabetes or HIV/AID my mental illnesses are diseases that I will have to manage for the rest of my life. 

I have to remember that. I have to. 

I get tired sometimes.

Sickness in any form is a heavy load to carry. 

I chose to write this entry because I find that writing really grounds me. 

For all of you who are in a good place in terms of managing your illnesses, keep it up. 

But either way, experience has tought me that sometimes I have to crash in order to start rising again. 

God Bless you all.
