Yes. I would say trying to do what you can to manage your symptoms and take care of yourself while also having some greater meaning/connection to the world outside of one's own experience of the disease is a helpful to having a more balanced and happy life.
Of course you can be happy, it's about embracing g life daily and making the most out of days when you feel 100% well , supporting other people can bring you happiness when you have a bad flare up you can be happy in an inactive way by relaxing watching movies with friends , you create your own happiness
Do not focus on the disease. Try to keep laughing as much as possible. Don't talk about your disease to everyone, have a hobby, see your friends. Enjoy life as much as possible in between flares.
Yes. Once you come to terms with it. Learning to not let it take over your life. Do not over do it on the good days. On bad days don't fight it, just listen to what your body needs. Acceptance.
It's important to organise everything and keep listening to doctors prescriptions. It's possible to have remission and lead a quite normal life. But we can't forget about medicines, appointments and tests.
BD patients shouldn't exhaust themselves too much and be careful because a small thing can be like a sparkle that cause the explosion. That's why it's important not to umderestimate this disease and strictly follow the doctors orders.
An attitude of gratitude is best. Being grateful for the small victories and always know that this too shall pass. Every journey has a lesson and a possible testimony to those who are struggling.
I try not to tell others how to be happy especially after it took so long for me to find it. But I can say you must find Faith, Hope and Love. Do not be too hard on the world or yourself.
It is very dangerous when we compare ourselves to one another. My advice is to be the best version of yourself that you can every day. I also tell everyone to always place themselves first. When a lot of us are caregivers, we tend to forget about ourselves. I can't give the most to my family or outside responsibilities if I don't place self care first. People see it as selfish, but there's nothing of me to give if I'm not well.
