6 and a half years ago I had my first hypomanic episode and was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2. I have never shared my story except with those that were really close to me and saw me go through it.
For years I’ve started drafting my story but I stop because it’s too painful to relive and I’ve carried such deep shame for so long. But I’m learning to look back at this time with more self love and compassion. I hope others can do the same.
