Let it be known that getting advice for life problems while bipolar is a special type of frustrating I am very well aware of. Some things aren’t simple and are very nuanced. So with that said, check this out.

I’ve been trying to deal with problems, as most of us are. Weight, spending habits, where to live next, work probation- all this shit. It all piles up and it does NOT help that my first intention is to tackle it all, whole.

That’s where this idea comes in. Whatever problem you’re dealing with, try to cut it in half-like a sandwich. If you are struggling to make food for the week, try for 3 days. If you’re giving up something, give it up for x days. Try sharing x details with a provider instead of all the problems at once.

The goal is to get ahead by a couple of inches before you move on to feet. Cut it into 1/4 or 1/8 if you have to. But getting small wins like that is a big deal, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

Whatever you’re dealing with, cut it in half.

Cheers,
