At one point while writing this book, eleven pages were written in just over an hour’s time. Non-stop writing with no "writers" cramps what so ever. I know that I have been inspired to write this book not only for my own benefit, but to help bring clarity and hope to others. When I look into this type of writing, the smells, faces, temperatures, colors, timing, feelings, and the memories are all there right in front me. My hand has a difficult time keeping up with my brain.

The words and memories are guided to me with the laughter, memories, and tears of my dear Mother and friends. I dedicate this book to all those who suffer and succeed with this BiPolar disease.

Many of my dear friends have successfully gone on before me, yet are still very much with me. I wish them the best of luck as well.

May all those who read, experience, or may yet experience BiPolar disorder benefit from this. As well as the support of their loved ones, friends, family, mentors, and care takers. For those with little to no support, may they find their way.

I, Christopher Cardon am Rapid Cycle BiPolar. I am successful, because of my God and others. May God Bless you in your individual journey throughout life and then some. Remember, remember, remember:

BiPolar does not have me, I have BiPolar by the tail.

Never give up on yourself or a loved one that carries this burden and fights this battle. The cures, answers, and solutions are coming.

Your friend always,

Christopher J. Cardon

The Importance of Exercise

Dear Friends,

I once again started going back to the gym!  My mountain bike is in the shop, ski season starts soon,  mall walking is not really fun!!

I have been faithful the last two weeks going to the local gym.  I am very lucky my insurance covers the monthly fees.  The gym is less than a mile away, so really no excuses on my part!!  I love it when I finally get "into the groove" of it.  It feels great, sometimes hurts, but afterwards the stress of the day really diminishes. 

The greatest feeling about the gym is the many endorphins that pop while I am there!!  I have seen people gain 30 - 40lbs after the 1st month of new medications.  As a result from the weight gain,  this causes even more depression.  This is the reason for frequent exercise.

To start with, find something you enjoy doing.  Enjoy your day & let me know what works for you!!

Pray for more snow & cya later!!

Christopher
