Bipolar disorder remains a misunderstood illness - there is still a misconception that people with bipolar are either manic or depressed all of the time. With the right combination of medication - which took me years to get right - I am stable 90% of the time. You don’t meet me and know I have this illness because most of the time I am well. It is perfectly possible for most people (although not everyone) to live mostly normal lives if the illness is well managed. With that said, it can be incredibly difficult to live with because although I am mostly well, I have a constant underlying anxiety that one day I won’t be again, no matter how well I look after myself. Bipolar disorder falls under a category called ‘severe and enduring mental illness’ - meaning essentially that it is chronic and incurable. BUT incurable doesn’t mean unmanageable. This is an excellent graphic explaining a little bit about bipolar disorder in a clear and concise way. #worldbipolarday #bipolardisorder

I’m so grateful to live near somewhere where I can have these peaceful walks outside still.
