I AM: Not A Ticking Time Bomb
Upon finding out about possibly being Bipolar, I immediately thought of every last stigma. I began to think of how people wouldn’t take me seriously, how I couldn’t be a leader, and how I had just started a certification program that I wasn’t going to be able to use. I began to think of how this couldn’t be true. Then I remembered that I thought of how I am a mental wellness advocate and have helped friends and family work through issues preventing their wellness. How could I instantly snap into a “That’s them” attitude? Answer - I can’t. It’s not them, it’s me too!
