So it’s been 3 years since I last declared that this blog would be my New Years resolution, and I have written no posts. And 4 years since I started this blog, and what I have mostly done it pay the annual subscription to keep the domain name. 

 
But, my life ultimately is different. I am on a great medication (I should say at this point that everyone is different, and medication works differently for everyone, and that there is no universal cure for bipolar). I see a psychiatrist regularly that I am happy with. But more importantly than that, I am married, and happily so, to a man that is ultimately so accepting and understanding of my condition. I have a home, pets, a job I am so passionate about, a group of friends and colleague that I love and care so much about, and most importantly, I have found a way to give back, by working as an ambassador and guest speak for a renowned charity that works closely with mental health and wellbeing. 

 
So why start up the blog again if my life is apparently so perfect I hear you ask?
Well it’s not. While my life is good, it’s far from perfect. I recently heard someone describe having a mental health condition, as always pulling a bus. It’s just hard work. That’s is one of the most apt descriptions I’ve ever heard. It’s right. My life isn’t easy, so the reason I want to start this blog back up again, is because I want people to know that as hard as life can be, there is hope. There is resolution. There is happiness. There may not be a cure for bipolar, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the end. 

 
I want to use this blog to share my struggles, raise awareness of how difficult living with bipolar can be, regardless of how good your treatment plan is. I want more people to have just the smallest insight into what this world can be like. I would never ask anyone to understand, because from my point of view, the only way to understand is to experience this, and I would never wish that on anyone. 
So, in summary. This is a blog of hope, resilience and awareness. I can’t wait to share my story with everyone as it’s bits and pieces become relevant to my day to day story (because trust me, there is so much behind me that is so pertinent, and so crazy). 

 
I will see you all soon, with another delve into my mind and life.

 
Take care of each other.
