Bipolar: Day 1

Today I had my first appointment with a psychiatrist after struggling for as long as I can remember. I don’t know what it feels like to be mentally healthy, but I took the first step today. After 25 yrs of listening to the stigmas and shoving my mental illness down, I now wear it proudly. I have bipolar disorder and I’m a better person because I’m getting help. It’s never too late to be the change, we have options. As hard as it may feel, we need to demand to be heard! You all matter to me. Stick it to the stigmas and keep living.
