❤ I love this conversation!!! I was finally diagnosed bipolar 2 over a decade ago. Not addressed properly for a long time though. I actually identify with both of you in my childhood. What I do know is I honestly felt the symptoms very young. Honestly at least as far back as pre-k! I didn't know what to do with all of my thoughts on it as a grade school child! I always felt the switches in moods, reactions and coping, it definately would have been realized had the research and medical diagnosis been in existance in the early 70's. I am only now this past almost 2 yrs, I am finally researching for myself, like listening to you both! 🎉 it feels really good to learn and grow with others with this battle for breakthroughs and acceptance of self and perpetual work ahead of me.
I’m looking forward to see where this channel goes, mainly do to aspects of relatability but also because of the lack of “content” that covers Bipolar disorder. I wish you guys the best of luck and stay safe during these times.
Thank you so much for your support & encouragement as we venture out on this new journey! We are so excited! It is our greatest hope that our sharing will resonate with you! Stay safe and healthy too!
Recently diagnosed Bipolar 1, 1 month now. Your podcast was one of the very first I listened to after diagnosis. Sharing your lived experiences helped me accept the diagnosis. It is so nice to put faces to the voices. Thank you for being here.
Thank you so much for listening and sharing! That means so much. Think of you and sending strength as you journey through this. You are not alone. Much love, Shaley
How are you feeling about your diagnosis. I have interviewed one other person with cyclothymia in the motherhood episode and hope to share more stories. Sending love & strength. Shaley xx
@@thisisbipolar I'm feeling ok. It's good to know what has been going on and the cause of my constant mood swings since a child. I've been meditating more, not having much caffeine, and definitely limiting the alcohol to once a week.
When I lost my virginity @ 14 it was to a guy w a gf. When he tried to break things off w me, I had my first self exit attempt. Then like 3 years later a dude I was really into & dating broke up with me. Hospital again.
the bipolar brain is so tricky that way. Changes in romantic relationships can trigger episodes for sure. We hear you. Thanks for sharing. Love, Shaley xx
