It's getting closer and closer towards Christmas, and this is the most wonderful day for me. Although people say that Christmas has been commercialised deeply and losing all the meanings, but for me it's still a day of ultimate love, and the love between family members and friends.


Recently, people keep emphasising the ideology of self love, keep talking about how important it is in order to love yourself. I would like to change a bit with the ideology. For me, I would prefer that all the bipolar people to fully accept ourselves. If we can learn how to love ourselves, it'll be great of course. Look at the suicidal rate, how come the suicidal rate for bipolar people remains number one? It's because of a long lasting severe depression, hopelessness, loneliness, and the sense of not belonging to any groups in the world? I'm not sure about other bipolar people, all these are my own thoughts.


Wholly accept ourselves. Bipolar disorder is part of us but not the full picture. We may feel deeper, sense stronger, analyse things stranger because of it. It's like a knife, and it's up to you to define whether it's a curse or a gift. Anyhow before that, we have to accept that we are holding a knife. Everyone is unique and we are a little more special. Accept it and embrace it into your life. I'm glad that I'm able to sense other people's feelings easily. This is just a minor part of my bipolar disorder.
