I started showing signs of Bipolar Disorder around age 7. I was formally diagnosed (for the first time) at 14 years old.

I didn't receive proper treatment until age 23.

In this episode, I talk about what it was like to have paranoia at ~7 years old, how I started self harming at 9 and how I first experienced hallucinations at 10. It seems every age came with a new symptom, and help was never on the table.

My entire life has been about survival. So how did I go from surviving to thriving? Tune in to learn more.
