i am a bipolar patient with financial freedom.even though i suffered stigma my doctor helped me get through it and i didnt stop working.i own a building which before i took over it was fit to be condemned.but because i beieve in work ethic,working for your sustenance,i turned it around and now it is a thriving fully occupied and much improved edifice.my employees attribute it to my luck or a magic amulet!

when faced with problems big or small i face it right away and think of the best way to address it.like my pet dog. i got him on impulse and he fell down with distemper while a pup. it was very difficult to nurse him and not sure if he would respond to the meds.but he pulled through. he is my baby.i am single and no children or husband.after reading self help books like those of norman peale and andrew mathhews, i feel i am slowly getting stronger and more successful inspite of my illness.i am a catholic and i used to go to mass everyday.i believe in the power of prayer along with doing concrete action along with it.

i listed my worries last night and prayed over them and surrendered them to god.an insight appeared in my mind.one cannot be happy and worried at the same time said the "voice". now i am surrounding myself with christmas music even though it is three months away.yes there is magic in positive thinking and prayer.
