Today, my full-time job and daily routine help me to stay active and interactive with people. Church activities, yoga, bicycling, and exercise (until recent foot problems) add variety to my life and enhance the enjoyment and rest during my down time. I'm happily married to a man that I can rely on and who will drag my body out of bed if he sees that depression is getting the best of me. I am grateful to God for that relationship so I don't have to go it alone. I am grateful for my physical health and medications to improve my mental health. I am grateful to the people on this community board for their experience, informative, honest and humorous support. Hopefully, I will soon add both a therapist and pdoc to my support system if I can afford it. As long as I have (seek) support and stay healthy, then my focus is on living not managing.
I will try not to worry about tomorrow. Though, I realize my physical and mental health will deteriorate and having bipolar disorder may significantly impact my will to live as I age beyond my positive and active lifestyle. I wish there were more seniors with bipolar disorder posting on this community board. We need lights ahead of us to help us hope.

I am grateful to the people on this community board for their honest and humorous support. Hopefully, I will soon add both a therapist and pdoc to my support system if I can afford it. Without health and support I would find it difficult if not impossible to know a purpose for my life let alone enjoy my life, and even people without bipolar disorders would agree with this statement. As long as I have help (or seek help) and stay healthy, I am hopeful that I will continue to manage my bipolar symptoms as tiresome as it has become over the years. I don't expect it to get easier with age so I hope help is available for seniors with bipolar disorders.

I get acne with new medications. My doc prescribes clindamycin phosphate topical lotion (Rx only). Within a few days, most of my acne disappears and my skin feels less dry and smoother than before I applied the lotion. I can use it every day without my skin drying up.
One (60 ml) bottle cost me $5 through my insurance and lasts forever.
There may better products out there but I thought I'd share what works for me.View Thread
