A diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be scary... but it also opens up an opportunity for growth and stability. Ready to find the answers?
Around one in every 100 people is diagnosed with bipolar disorder at some point in their lives...but if you're one of them, it probably feels more isolating than that. Despite the rising awareness of mental health challenges, it's a condition still shrouded in misunderstanding, and while you're caught up in the extreme highs and lows it presents, it's difficult to understand it yourself, let alone help anyone else to understand it. A diagnosis can bring a sense of relief-an explanation to help you finally make sense of what's been happening with you... but it can also be scary. Mariah Carey, who's spoken outwardly about her experience with bipolar disorder, said that she "didn't want to believe" it when she was given her diagnosis... and perhaps that's a feeling you can relate to.
It can make you feel terribly alone, especially when you don't understand all the nuances of bipolar disorder or how to manage it well... But this is where your diagnosis is a blessing.
Now that you know you have it, you can dive beneath the hood and implement techniques that you didn't know to try before now.
But when there's so much to know, where do you start? Right here.
