Fabulist Fables

I missed out on a couple days ago, but im gonna celebrate anyway.

Finally getting a diagnosis of Bipolar 2 and finding that Lithium works to stabilize my moodswings, has changed the trajectory of my mental health and my life.

I am still struggling with the reality of it, especially since Bipolar 2 can just slip through the cracks so easily. I am constantly struggling to remind myself of my worth, my actions, and all the good that surrounds me.

I couldn't manage any of it without my partner.

I couldn't grow without the help of my therapist, and the friends and family around me who continue to just treat me like a human.

Bipolar 2 still feels like a stranger who has been living secretly in my house for 30 years, and I've just offered them the guest room.

I doubt my mind, I judge my emotions, and I often get stuck in a cycle of ME that shuts everything else out.

Im here if you want to talk about Bipolar 2, or art, or storytelling or music.

Happy World Bipolar Day. Keep going.

(There's bits and clues about Bipolar 2 all through my album "lovely, perfect, tragic" but i think "Incredible" is the one you want to listen to most for this topic!)
