Choose to be calm, patient, and merciful towards yourself.
I don't think this is much of a problem on the Men's Forum but I did want to remind you to stay calm during the rush of the holidays. I tend to be the anxious person, but I'm trying to be as nice to myself as I am to others. With my condition, I have to actually remind myself that there's nothing wrong with being happy. Others take that for granted and I'm sometimes amazed at that. I think I'm manic when I'm simply happy ( as opposed to just ok). So, today's a good day.
