A reminder for anyone that needs it today. 

Yes, you. 

You’ve been feeling stable for so long, you’ve convinced yourself you were never sick. Nothing is wrong with you. Maybe you don’t need your meds. Maybe it’s ok to have a wild night out and drink a ton of alcohol. Maybe you can stay up all night watching Netflix. Maybe you can have a horrible diet for a few weeks to lose weight. Maybe you can live your life without constantly avoiding triggers. 

Maybe you’re completely normal.

NEWSFLASH: You’re not. 

The minute you forget that, the minute you start getting sloppy about taking care of yourself, all progress is lost. The clock starts ticking. The next episode is around the corner. And you’ll get a slap-in-the-face reminder that you are indeed sick and all of the above was necessary to keep you in check.

Don’t let bipolar remind you how bad things can get. Let me remind you today. Never forget. 

Stay healthy
