You are not a burden -pt 3
When I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder and for a while afterward, I definitely felt like I was a drain on the people around me. But no one ever expressed that to me. That was my own perception. I did move on from relationships, but that is the natural ebb and flow of life I believe. Last weekend I had the pleasure of vacationing with my mom and this weekend I get to spend time with a dear friend. Having close family and friends lift me up when I am having a hard time helps me carry the weight of bipolar disorder, but it also gives me people to celebrate joys and victories with!
