    Living with Bipolar, Mania, and Finding Stability

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Touching Tornadoes! In this episode, I dive deep into what it’s like to live with bipolar 1 disorder—especially the process of getting diagnosed, the struggle for acceptance (both personal and from family), and the fear of another episode. I reflect on my past manic episodes, the crash that followed, and how I’ve tried to manage my mental health with exercise, meditation, and lifestyle changes. I also talk about the frustration of feeling invalidated by those around me and the importance of finding others who truly get it. 📚 Books I’ve found helpful: An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison Episodes by Kat Alexander & Maya Northen Augelli The Other Side of Me by Julie Fast 🎥 Recommended Movies & YouTube Series: Infinitely Polar Bear (Mark Ruffalo) This Is My Brave (YouTube series) If you’ve been through similar struggles, I’d love to hear from you.
