WORLD BIPOLAR DAY 2024

I was tasked with sharing my thoughts and emotions about living with bipolar disorder with others.

I must confess that I'm starting to feel weary of the constant daily struggles.

Bipolar disorder is a part of my everyday life, a never-ending journey.
It's truly soul-crushing, and while I'm coping, I long to be free from its grip.

The impact of mental challenges on one's life is often underestimated, and the feeling of isolation with a diagnosis is profound. Only those who share the experience can truly understand the struggles.

There's no easy solution, just the routine of taking medication.

Maintaining friendships is a challenge as I struggle to tolerate extended social interactions.

My concentration is fleeting, and there are days when I feel mentally drained and just crave rest.

The thought of going on vacation fills me with anxiety, as being away from my home for too long is overwhelming.

My home is my sanctuary, a sterile environment that brings me comfort.

In unfamiliar places, I struggle to relax and often experience panic attacks.

Some days, I feel like giving up and disappearing, but instead, I choose to channel my struggles into my writing.

I share these experiences not to complain, but to shed light on the reality of my daily struggles. My aim is to raise awareness and foster understanding.
