Listen Later

Hypomania and mania are symptoms of bipolar disorder. In this podcast, Drifter interviews CeeCce (who has been living with bipolar disorder for 15 years) and dives deeper into the world of bipolar disorder and how it relates to addiction recovery. Hypomania and mania are elevated mood states wherein addiction and destructive patterns of behaviour can run rampant. Both CeeCee  and Drifter share their personal experiences with mania, the impact of rapidly fluctuating moods, and how their choice to be sober has enhanced their understanding of mental health. Managing your mood and cravings can be enhanced through awareness and strategy. Recommendations on how to do this are offered, so have a listen!

 

CeeCee has been figuring out have to live with Bipolar Disorder for 15 years, which has recently entailed choosing an alcohol free lifestyle. She describes herself as a spiritual enthusiast, empath, and a wannabe morning person. 
 
In addition to being an avid talker, CeeCee is also a prolific journal writer and blogger. Her first book, a mental health memoir, is currently in progress. 
 
CeeCee is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), a Reiki practitioner, and holds certifications in qi gong, and various forms of meditation. She is a mental health advocate, a math teacher by day, a believer in miracles and a mom.
 
When she isn’t writing, in therapy, cleaning or meditating, CeeCee can usually be found flossing, dancing like no one is watching or reading. She loves the colour pink, is fascinated by flamingos and gets giddy over snow. She relies heavily on affirmation cards and coffee to get through the day.
 
CeeCee lives in  Atlantic Canada with her highly intuitive 7 year old daughter, her non-husband who is only mildly amused by her jokes and an overly affectionate cat.
 
Brevity is not her strong suit 
 
 

No Sippy No Slippy. Not Another Drop No matter What.  

Remember to Pour The Poison Down The Sink!!
