Good morning!

I think another problem stemming from these is that I have easily slipped into dysfunctional pattern of thinking and acting based on history. Now that is mine to control. It's not as easy as just saying it of course, especially when you throw bipolar in there. I'm at peace with the fact that I'll always be bipolar and will probably always need medicine to stay out of the hospital and out of psychosis, but once stable, I DO have control over my actions. I'm not used to the control, and so I let things happen that I can stop, with some effort.

I'm also rusty at meditation. I quit trying when I was unstable and it was physically impossible to concentrate on one thing, due to severe mental health. Now that things are better, I need to start trying again. But it's an ovewhelming thought, since I am so out of practice.
