Bipolar New Year's Resolutions
- 8 Jan 08, 10:26 PM
As it’s a New Year, I thought I should at least attempt to make an effort towards improving my health with a few New Year’s Resolutions for 2008:
1. Drink less than 14 units of alcohol a week – easy as I don’t drink much anyway, as more than a few units makes me physically sick due to the tablets I’m on. Been there, done that, never again.
2. Eat a better diet including 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day (less takeaways and pub food and more healthy cooking – you know the sort, where I actually buy the individual ingredients from the supermarket and follow a recipe). You will be pleased to hear that I am not a completely lost cause in this regard and I have managed this at least once or twice before in the distant past.
3. Take more exercise (any would be an improvement on my current record).
I don’t smoke, so if I manage all of the above then according to the I should live for an extra 14 years of misery, mixed episodes and hypomania. Ouch! :-)
