I Married Bipolar

Falling in Love with Bipolar: The Story Begins


Listen Later

Do you wish you had someone to understand what you're going through or have been through?

When you fall in love with someone, you're never thinking about mental illness. You're drawn in by energy, charm, chemistry — and in my case, all of that came with a hidden battle: bipolar disorder. 

This is my deeply personal journey of being married to someone with undiagnosed bipolar — and how it changed everything. If you're navigating mental illness in your marriage or loving someone with a diagnosis, this podcast is your space to feel seen, understood, and supported.

On this podcast I share the whirlwind beginning of my relationship with my husband — how his magnetic energy and intense focus made me feel alive and unstoppable. But beneath the charm was a mental health struggle that would dramatically reshape our marriage. 

This trailer sets the stage for I Married Bipolar, a podcast told from the perspective of the partner — raw, real, and rooted in love and resilience. I also speak to the community that’s grown around my story, and my mission to make sure no one feels alone with bipolar again.

 Key Takeaways of this Podcast

  • The emotional journey of loving someone with undiagnosed bipolar disorder in a marriage
  • How intense connection can mask early warning signs of mental health challenges in relationships
  • The lived experience of a spouse navigating bipolar disorder from a faith-informed lens
  • The trauma, abandonment fears, and rebuilding that come with a bipolar diagnosis in long-term relationships
  • The power of community in supporting partners of those with bipolar disorder
