Hey everyone, welcome back to Touching Tornadoes! In this episode, I dive deep into what it’s like to live with bipolar 1 disorder—especially the process of getting diagnosed, the struggle for acceptance (both personal and from family), and the fear of another episode.

I reflect on my past manic episodes, the crash that followed, and how I’ve tried to manage my mental health with exercise, meditation, and lifestyle changes. I also talk about the frustration of feeling invalidated by those around me and the importance of finding others who truly get it.
