Join mental health advocates Shaley Hoogendoorn and Julie Kraft as they discuss the impact of Covid-19 on their lives and the world around them. What were their initial reactions? Has having bipolar disorder helped or hindered their ability to cope and keep calm? Have silver linings been found in the midst of such unimaginable circumstances? Although we're all weathering the same storm, we are in different boats- our feelings should never be compared to anyone else's. It is Julie and Shaley's greatest hope that in sharing they will help others feel validated and less alone in their thoughts and experiences during this time. This is bipolar.... during a global pandemic.
