My story
After battling with my mental health, suffering suicidal ideations and being misdiagnosed with depression for many years, I was finally given a correct diagnosis of Bipolar type 1. This was after more than 12 months in a manic episode which almost killed me.
I was prescribed some medication and sent on my way. No leaflets. No books. No explanation of the condition, whatsoever. I was at an all time low and felt alone in the world.
I was now merely a statistic. I felt I'd lost all my identity and no longer knew who I was. As far as I was concerned, my life was over and nobody could dare tell me any different.
The embarrassment and shame crippled me and I was afraid of what the future would hold. I believed my life was over and that I'd be severely unwell for the rest of it. I couldn't imagine happiness or remember what it felt like.
Would it ever be possible to live well with bipolar? Would I remember how to take care of myself again? Would I be able to enjoy healthy friendships and relationships? Would I be well enough to work again? Would I ever stop feeling ashamed?
For years I felt like I was going round in circles, masking on the outside but inside I was mentally and emotionally broken. I became sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
One day I made the decision to start making meaningful changes to benefit all aspects of my life - in mind, body and spirit. Little by little, day by day, after many years of working on myself and trying different things, I have some key insights to share with you.
Although I’m still discovering what works for me and what doesn’t, I wish someone had given me something like this when I was first diagnosed with bipolar. It would have given me fresh hope when I really needed it.
But now I have a new hope... I hope this ebook will give YOU some helpful tools to live well with bipolar, just like I do.
Sending love n' light,
