Bipolar Serenity Prayer

by Michele Soloway Sexton

I have a friend named Larry Drain, who has his own website and writes about bipolar disorder, as well as other mental illnesses. He once said that the Serenity Prayer was the best description he knew of successful recovery from bipolar disorder. I was so impressed by his version that I decided to print it here in its entirety:

The first (and maybe biggest) trap of bipolar is to convince you that "it" is all about you and the measure of how things are is how you feel. "Life is not about what I can or cannot control, thank goodness, because so much of this is beyond my control." There is a "higher power." There is someone to turn to when I feel all alone and powerless and all feels loss.
