In this very special episode of Bipolar Recorder, Hunter Keegan speaks with Paul, a man who went to Penn State University during the time Hunter was working there as a Resident Assistant ("RA") in the campus dorms.

Paul knew Hunter well during that time, and helps refresh his memory about some of those dark days of debauchery, irresponsibility, and academia. He also shares about some of his own struggles with traumatic brain injury (TBI), depression, and addiction.

Listen to Paul and Hunter's stories about living through addiction and mental illness while also dealing with the stress of rigorous college schedules.

Content Warning: Suicide.

In this very meaningful episode, Hunter Keegan speaks with Dionna. Dionna is a 24-year-old woman living with Bipolar Type I with Psychotic Features. Just a couple of short weeks after a recent suicide attempt, she came on the show to fearlessly share her story.

This episode goes VERY deep into Dionna's history of suicide attempts and suicidal ideation. But ultimately her message is one of positivity and self-compassion.

Dionna's blog can be found at https://thinkerofmind.wixsite.com/mindofown/
