My journey with mental illness, from Clinical Depression to Bipolar 2 Disorder has been ugly, messy, yet life-changing and fulfilling. It has taught me so much and has brought me to where I am today. It gives me a sense of purpose which I am grateful for. Sharing my story is not always easy, but my hope is that you feel less alone because of this. There is always something good that comes from the bad and we should never lose hope in that.
