Having a recovery plan helps you maintain wellness. These tips can help “insure” your ability to successfully manage your bipolar now and in the future.
In battling bipolar, do you sometimes feel like you’re driving around in circles? Are you tired of the twists and turns? Would you like to change course for the better?
If you want to get on your way to wellness, a little “driver’s education” can help. Here are some important insights for staying on the road to recovery:
#1 Too many people sell themselves short.
