I posted here almost a year ago now when I was really struggling with some things in my life. I still have the struggles, as I know I always will, but things have gotten to be a little bit better. 

I've got a great significant other, she and I have been at it for almost a year now. She's been a huge help, and she's so patient with me. I know it can't be easy on her, but she's really trying and it shows. I'm happy about that, and I'm hopeful she and I go the distance. 

I've also not found a job, but I went to one of those career/job finder people near where I live, and she basically told me that, aside from the bipolar/BPD, she doesn't see me doing the typical 9-5 type job, because she doesn't see me as that type of person. This is a really good thing for me to hear, and you may be wondering, 'Well, then what?'. She is currently helping me polish my existing business plan to present to investors in a couple weeks to get a loan to start my own business. I can make my own hours, and stick to my routine and schedule that's been helpful in managing my symptoms. 

Overall, things have gotten better. As I said, I've still got my struggles, and there are still days that are much, much harder than others. But over the course of the last year, I've really committed to working on myself and learning how to manage my mental health in a healthier way. As my mother said, I keep going around the same barn, and I've really been working at stopping that so I can just move forward with my life and manage my mental health and symptoms. 

I just thought that it was important for you guys to read about it.
