Bipolar Bicoastal

In what is probably our most controversial episode yet, we rank every bipolar celebrity on purely subjective and mostly very wrong criteria! How do we justify putting Kanye above Kurt Cobain? Who is the lead singer of The Cranberries? And why does Anna hate Sting? Tune in to find out why we really shouldn't have our own platform! This is an unlocked episode from our Patreon so if you enjoy what you hear (or you just want the opportunity to post angry comments disagreeing with us) subscribe at patreon.com/BipolarBicoastal

Anna takes us through her harrowing journey to find a (non-scammy, non-rude) psychiatrist. We talk insurance, America's horrifying healthcare system and many frustrating phone calls. We hope this isn't relatable for any of you but know it probably will be. Enjoy!

Sooooo…we’re not doing so hot. We talk through experiencing our first depressive episodes in years & since starting medication. Hopefully this resonates and makes y’all feel less alone <3

In this episode Maria and Anna delve into shame. Tune in to hear the things they most regret having done, how they're overcoming the shame around being bipolar, and to see if they've forgiven each other for the things they said and did while going through an episode.

We sit down with psychiatrist Dr. Patricia Sullivan and ask her all of the questions y'all had! Topics include medication and drug use, what to expect in your first appointment and why so many psychiatrists don't take insurance. Enjoy!

We interview each other about what being queer means to us, how mania affected Maria's coming out and Anna probably says something really offensive so I'm apologizing in advance!
