April 2019 Wrap-Up

Although autumn will always be my favorite season, spring is beautiful as well. I love the thunderstorms we’ve begun having in the mid-Atlantic, and the blooming flowers are beautiful, even if I’m having trouble breathing as a result of the pollen.

April has felt nuts to me, and like it flew by in a flash. I was diagnosed as bipolar this month, a diagnosis that was both surprising and relieving. When you go nearly two decades thinking there’s something wrong with your brain and you don’t understand why you can’t control your moods or emotions, a diagnosis is something to be celebrated.

Even though being diagnosed as bipolar is a bit scary, at least now I can begin to find ways to control and manage the disorder. Also, just putting a name to it has made it easier.
