No live this Saturday since I’ll be at #HealtheVoices!

This is something I really wanted, and making it happen feels magical!

I’m so excited to meet and learn from other patient advocates with all different areas of advocacy. And especially my fellow mental illness peeps!

I’ll tell you all about it at the next live on Sat 11/21 at 1 pm eastern.

*J&J paid for my travel expenses to attend HealtheVoices. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.*

I wasn’t supposed to have bipolar. No way. Not me.

I was an honor student. Perfectionist. Overachiever. Trauma survivor (duh).

At 19 I went manic. Psychotic too. Diagnosed bipolar 1.

It was a far fall. Rapid cycler. Very little stability for a decade. The lost years. Nearly lost my life.

Then I started doing better! Better meds. Finally. Lifestyle changes. Finally. Got a job I loved. Got married. Had a child.

Found purpose through bipolar advocacy. Speaker. YouTuber. Community.

I still have bipolar episodes. Not as many. Not as severe. They remind me of how far I’ve come. And how far I will go.

LIVE TODAY at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific

Let’s talk about when bipolar episodes mess with your life. I’m feeling it right now.

Whether it’s depression, mania, or psychosis, things like friendships, work, family relationships, and romantic relationships can really suffer.

Not to mention how it makes us feel and changes who we are.

Join us to chat about it and ask questions.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

This pic is from last Halloween. Pearson dressed up as a corpse bride, so I was a last-minute mother of the corpse bride.

Not sure how I’ll dress up this year. I’ve got a few hours to figure it out. 😂

➡️ Next live is in a week: Sat 11/7 at 1 PM Eastern!

Maybe the looks were because I rarely yell.
Maybe I was the one making it about bipolar.
Maybe.
