Having had a breakdown in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic i was then diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety. Still navigating the world of getting help and getting stable. I decided to start writing a little to express my feelings of absolute bleakness and mania. Looking for people who share my outlook and problems on twitter led me to the Bipolar Club through twitter. I hope that my story will help others as i have been helped. Im new to realising what has troubled me my whole life, but i plan to take one day at a time and as best i can find a way out of this labyrinth of misery one way or another. A diagnosis is not a label, it’s a way to access healing and help i hope!
