Finally I Am Starting To Understand Myself...

   Sat, May 17, 2008 - 5:14 AM
Finally! At this point in my Life, I am starting to understand myself, and why I have made certain questionable decisions in my past. Recently diagnosed as having "Bipolar Disorder", my curiosities about myself are becoming clear. I have spent my Life proving to the world that I am not an idiot, stupid, nor irresponsible. My problem is that my mind is always spinning at 100 miles an hour, and, I come across to others as frazzled and dizzy-headed. You don't just quit a good-paying career becuse you "don't like the way things are anymore". Well, I once did. Anyway, I am hopeful, that, with proper treatment, I am starting on the right road to recovery, for myself, to live and lead a better, more productive Life. My partner hopes so, too...!

Proving Oneself
It seems to me that the triumph comes in switching one's priority from proving oneself to the world to proving oneself to oneself--making it about personal best instead of about world records... which being in my '40s has really brought home to me.
