Diagnosed with Bipolar?

Have you been diagnosed with Bipolar?
In this video I share my own experience with being diagnosed 8 years ago. I thought something was wrong with me because of my life circumstances. My parents struggle with mental health and I thought my genetics meant I was going to have to take medication my whole life.
Now, I am blessed to say that I do not do drugs. I do not take psychiatric medication to cope. I do not fit a bipolar diagnosis anymore. I accept myself for who I am. I challenge my belief of something being wrong with me and practice self acceptance on a daily basis.

Thank you for sharing. I finally found a balance with medication, but it sure took a long time, and yes, caffeine affects folks with bipolar disorder quite a bit. I hope you continue to do well, but don't shut the door on medication if at some point down the road you hit a rough patch and find a good doctor or psychiatrist who is willing to work patiently with you to find the right medications and dosages. Big hugs!

Sensitivity to sunlight is an awful side effect of bi-polar meds.
