Writing a trauma narrative for therapy, realized I can talk about all the bad things from before my diagnosis but not the things that helped build to it or my mental health relapse in 2022. I seriously have no clue how I did that podcast about when I was homeless.

Seeing memory post of Facebook from my last manic episode 2 years ago... horrifying to read, glad for all the time I have had to heal and grow.
I have a bipolar type one diagnosis & I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

It's hard to have big dreams anymore, people assume it's a manic episode. Makes it hard to fine joy sometimes. #bipolarbutmedicated #bipolarthings
That moment where you remember your delusions from your last episode but it's also a reminder of why it's important to take your meds. . .

Journaling again, it's helping me to process the big emotions and use some of my #dbt skills. #radicalacceptance is difficult.

#bipolarbutmedicated going back to places you haven't visited since an episode and just praying no one brings it up.
#bipolarbutmedicated I wish more people knew that having #Bipolar isn't just *mood swings.*
#bipolarbutmedicated Having to give up drinking because you know it contributes to the uneven moods and makes your meds not work. Not easy, been sober since March 25th.
