Mental Illness isn’t as taboo to talk about since the pandemic started and that’s definitely a step forward in the right direction. However, mental illness is still a huge part of peoples life and it’s a very hard journey to navigate– especially when the topic is still something many people don’t understand.
I have been living with my specific mental illnesses for several years now and they have been filled with neverending learning lessons along with some good and very bad times. Like all things in life, the experience of living with mental illness in an already crazy world has allowed me to become more educated and knowledgeable about mental illness. I’m no expert and have a lot more to learn, I’m sure. But I wanted to share my personal opinion on what I‘d consider being some of the most important things to know about mental illness (especially if you are new to this journey).
In this video, I focus on tips for managing Bipolar Disorder and share some of the important lessons I had to learn navigating depression and anxiety. I hope you find it helpful if you’re on a similar journey!
And share with me your tips and advice for living with mental illness. Is there some things you wish you knew when you were first diagnosed? Let us know. You never know who it’ll help and we’re all in this together!
