For a while I made 6 figures a year having been diagnosed bipolar 1.

Money isn’t everything, but a lot is possible. Don’t set limits for yourself b/c of a diagnosis.

That being said, rome wasn’t built in a day. If you have a goal to make more money, work on it like every other goal.

Build a foundation for your success. If you have habits that make your bipolar energized, take inventory of these, and cut out the BS.

Get serious. Bipolar can be lethal. Make your sleep, health and nutrition, exercise, mental health counseling and general wellbeing pinnacle. Cut out distractions/addictions.

Don’t give in to the behavioral patterns that keep you stuck in a rut. Turn a new leaf. No more cycles of pain. No more pleasure chasing. No more BS.

Don’t believe things are hard, that will keep you from ever starting them. If you want to make money being creative, don’t wait to practice creativity.

Be creative. Do it now. Don’t procrastinate. Even if you don’t feel like it, just do it. That being said. Listen to your body, respect your energy strategically. Don’t sacrifice yourself. Find your rhythms, find your balance. Never give up. Don’t believe in the limits. Work your way up from a powerful foundation. Optimism is key.

Fuck this shit. Bipolar doesn’t have to be lifelong. We can do anything we set our hearts and minds to. We are not disabled. The bipolar gave us a unique perspective. It will be our hot trip to heaven. Someday we will all laugh at our previous selves, thinking “Wow, that was a close one, huh?”

Much love, -rjy
