Sara, as you can see, you have a lot of support here. I think you have found at least one creative channel to funnel those energies into. That seems to be the secret to all of life's punches... to take what ever residue it leaves and create something beautiful out of it.
Your last stanza here is absolutely amazing.

Yes dear many are bi-polar and so am I. You might want to see what happens to bi-polars who loose their way by mixing their problems with alcoholic. There is a good medicaton for your Bi-polar and the one they give is
called: Divalproex .. a very effective non addiction medicine in pill form. But I get
mine free and I do not know the cost. A pharmacy could tell you. Your will be alright. The bi-polarity also gifts us usually some type artistic talent. So concentrate on what you can do and do it. Bill

You are not alone Sara. You would be amazed at how many artists here are BiPolar. Most of those close to me are and I find them to be some of the most creative and warmest souls on this planet.

Hello, Sara. Two of my good cyber friends from the same poetry site are bi-polar, both have written poems and talked freely with any who had questions, both are sweet, dear men who have dealt with their illness with human spirit and tenacity, other times with despair and pain. I believe you will be able to have and do the things you dream, your piece shows you are scared, but also that you are strong. If you would like me to contact them and ask for some information or other knowledge they have that may help you, I would be honored. It would be ridiculous to tell you you won't have bad days, you will, but you are alive, a unique soul with a harder journey than many, we need such souls in this world. There are many who will help you, listen and talk to you, and cherish you, stay strong, Sara.

Sweetie,

I am Bi-Polar too and I know how hard it is to 'stay level' and in control. I want you to know that you are not alone. It does make for good material in poetry just as you've proved here.

I have met so many artists that are bi-polar. I suppose we are a creative lot. I am sorry for the hard times though, I know how hard they can be. The poem that Alan & I did called 'Closed Circuit' is about this very thing. Hang in there. I'll sign in under our name and you can read it if you feel like it. (((HUGS)))

Love to you, Janet Caldwell
