It's Just Me!

Linda knew one day she would tell the story of how she overcame what she went through-and it would be someone else's survival guide.

She didn't trust too many people until she became close to them as she grew older. Linda takes you on a journey through the ups, the downs, and the topsy-turvy ride being bipolar takes you on.

Along this journey, life sometimes gets messy. You'll learn about the "voices" as well as mental illness. Linda recommends attaching yourself to a vision, calling, or purpose only-that's how you keep your power and your peace.

Find joy in your journey by practicing gratitude relentlessly. Let yourself feel your feelings. Put God first and watch your life change, because your mistakes don't define you. Stop apologizing for who you are, for your laugh, for looking "crazy," or for the way you eat or sleep, and stop being sorry for being yourself. Every day is a gift, even the hard ones. No matter what path you take in life, you'll find the actual journey to be the most important. Isn't that usually the best part anyway?
