Today has been a little better for me. I was able to get up this morning without any problems. I did however sleep this afternoon in the chair for about six hours. I hope that doesn't screw my sleep up tonight. Sleep is the one thing I enjoy because I can escape the realities of life. Lately life has been really tough and I'll take any escape I can get.
Next week I start working in a group setting on mindfulness. The idea is to be able to focus on a subject and be able to pull yourself back to that subject when the mind starts to wander. I would imagine there is more to it than just that but that's what I was told the group is starting with. I'm looking forward to meeting with others in a group but am also a little nervous about it. I have a hard time being in group settings and experience a lot of anxiety. Hopefully the entire experience will prove beneficial to me.
My uncle finally got a call from the oncologist who will be handling his cancer treatment. His appointment is the same day as my group session but later in the day. This is an important day because we'll find out what stage of cancer he has and have a better idea of what kind of treatment he'll receive. I need to research questions that we need to ask this doctor. I remember when my Dad was going through his cancer treatment that they encouraged questions and were willing to answer anything.
I’m a 46 year old man who’s been dealing with Bipolar my entire life. It wasn’t until 2013 that I was diagnosed and this blog is my story. As you’ll see there’s been many lapses in my posting but I’m going to try and get back with it. I’ve had a lot of trouble during my lapses but I continue to remain optimistic about my bipolar hence the title Optimistic Bipolar.
