I believe many people 1. Don’t know they have it 2. Relate it to today’s lifestyle 3. Are afraid to admit it. 4. Afraid of being seen as “crazy”… the stigma. I have recently started accepting my problems and starting to do research. This story is very similar to a break I had about a month ago.
Thanks Nicole. I turn 50 this year after living with Bi Polar 1 and only being diagnosed in the past few months after a 6 month ride in mania which I chased my whole life in order to give me the edge that believe contributed to my success in my career. I had no support or nor did anyone understand my situation. I drank excessively to depress the mania and quiet my mind. In 6 months I used up my life savings, could have hurt myself or others, lost relationships except for my BFF, and now homeless and facing bankruptcy. Watching and learning to understand and manage my illness is my goal now, and it’s through talks like yours that help me break the stigma in my own mind and I pray one day I can have the courage to stand on that stage myself❤ Thanks Again
