Intro to My Life

Hello again! So as my blog name says I will be writing about living with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder in which sufferers go through alternating cycles of depression and hypomania, which can be stabilized with medication and counseling. This mental illness causes distress in all areas of life, including relationships, jobs, schooling, confidence, etc. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder ten years ago. Having bipolar disorder has significantly affected my confidence and relationships skills. Through out my life, I have learned many skills and have learned to manage my illness. I hope to share my life experiences and skills that I have learned with you all. Also, there are so many misconceptions about bipolar disorder that I hope to clear up. I want everyone to know that people with bipolar disorder can live a happy, meaningful, and amazing life.
