There's another way to look at this if it helpful.
For now, you could be ok with
not being ok.
For a while I embraced being miserable. I let the bipolar (and other stuff) be in charge and stopped fighting it. It worked because I also knew in every fiber of my being that I was going to be ok someday -- just not at the time I wanted it.
I saw something on tv tonight that reminded me of this.
In a documentary that took place in the desert, the men were staying that there is
no way to
beat the heat.
They
compromise with the heat.
That made sense to me.
I talk to my bipolar and check in with it everyday and try to see what it needs from me.
. . . not sure if this makes sense.

More hugs.
Darling. You can still be proud of your brother.
