How to kick-start the Recovery and Healing journey with a Mental Health Problem like Bipolar I Disorder



    The recovery journey is such a life-long experience that begins from the time of first diagnosis to one’s final breath on earth, sad as it may sound. As bipolar persons of different degrees, we, therefore, have to succumb to the underlying fact as the first ever step of starting the journey. In this article, I am gladly sharing my steps in the recovery journey process for the purpose of inspiring the impossible stories that lie behind the illness. 
   
     For one thing, there is life at both ends of the rainbow. This fact formed my basis for accepting and embracing the status. A similar notion applies to the illness, hence affirming the fact that whether one is bipolar or non-bipolar, they still possess’ equal capabilities, just like being either a male or female. Thus, to retain sexuality, a male has to live within the male life-lines, and so does the female counterpart. In the same measure, a bipolar survivor has to live within the bipolar life-lines lest one is considered abnormal, or worse, pronounced as mad. Therefore, the most significant step to managing the condition is self-awareness which entails acceptance of one’s status and embracing it. 
     
    In my experience with the illness, I have to admit that bipolar space is a better world once you accept the condition. However, before a survivor is correctly diagnosed and is unaware of themselves, they tend to live a chaotic and misunderstood life that can lead to more detrimental results, which may completely ruin one’s life. In such instances, the condition is considered a catastrophe, contrary to the ‘superpower’ notion held by those living with well-managed bipolar. Therefore, building a life of well-managed bipolar calls for living within the tenets of the condition and observing both the don’ts and do’s, which are available on various reputable mental health websites. 
    
    In my case, the counteractive steps have been successful so far since I have never undergone another manic episode after the first one ensued. However, I have to admit that it has not been fully effective since I have been lacking one of the most significant parts of coping procedures, medication. This is not due to my personal decision but purely because I am jobless and unable to afford to pay the price. One thing for sure, once one accepts the condition, lives within the underlying life-lines, and follows the right medication regimen, one can be able to unleash the full potential that lies behind the condition and enjoy one's ‘superpower’. 
     On balance, bipolar disorder is an ageless condition since it entails changes in brain mechanisms. Therefore, coping with the condition is significant to dilute the dissonated understanding that it builds in non-bipolar people. However, sometimes only fellow survivors can understand each other in extreme cases, and the bottom line still remains; ensuring to live within the condition’s dos and don’ts while following the correct medication with the constant help of professional psychiatrists. Failure to accept the condition is a path to the graveyard, hence, once one is fully diagnosed, the coping steps involve accepting the condition, seeking a psychiatrist’s help, acquiring the right medication, and living within the guidelines. This will definitely help one unleash their full potential and enjoy life like any successful person.

How to tell whether your Mental Health status is an Illness, a Condition, or a Disorder.

       The month of May is a special one in the world as it is recognized as a mental health awareness month. However, not many individuals are aware of the significance of the month as greater percentages of people are unaware of the clear meaning of the actual concept. The lack of understanding is attributed to insufficient sensitization of the topic among people on various facets of the menace. This has significantly led to an increasing number of mysteries related to mental health issues in the world, thus, deeming the need for an active campaign on the issue to deliberate the society. As a mental health enthusiast, I have written the article to help society comprehend the related mental health phrases that include mental health illness, mental health condition, and mental health disorder clearly.      The topic of mental health is broad and contains three main phrases which are common. This has contributed to growing misunderstandings among survivors, potential survivors, and ev

How to set yourself free of various Mental Health Struggles and Conditions

     As a survivor of a mental health condition, I have learned the need to develop a proprietary attitude toward an illness. Many times, persons of different mental health issues tend to run away from their problems in a bid to stay stigma-free in society. This has constantly led to more ramifications for individuals as they fear owning the afflictions that ensue with their illnesses. In this article, I am explaining to fellow survivors how I took authority on my condition with Bipolar Disorder to stay on track with my daily life, particularly for peer-supporting others.         The process entails self-acceptance procedures that set one free of any fears that result from the stigmatization of mental health survivors. For my condition, Bipolar Disorder, the aftermath of a manic or depressive episode is full of awful stories that may be hard to take in. This explains why it is more difficult to deal with the condition.   Besides, the fact that neither of the episodes fades in the sur

How a person feels like after first Diagnosis with a Mental Health problem like Bipolar I Disorder

     As a mental health enthusiast, I have learned the significance of being aware of the feelings after the first diagnosis of a mental health illness or disorder. Without proper comprehension of the impending normal, it is difficult to correctly manage a condition and live a full and successful life. In this article, I am explaining a personal experience that transpired during the initial stages of a post-diagnosis with my condition; Bipolar Disorder. This is to particularly build on the existing peer-support forums to help other fellows self-manage themselves by informing them what they can expect in case they had or have fallen victims.      After stepping out from the psychiatric ward, I first began feeling like my support system during the whole scenario had no clue of what was actually happening in my world. The immediate post-manic feeling was that of spontaneity. At one time, it felt like I was in control of everything happening and was constantly trying to justify all the rea
