BitterSweet Bipolar

BitterSweet Bipolar Hi! WELCOME TO "BITTERSWEET BIPOLAR"! My name is "Ash" and I'm from the NorthEast, England, UK. We are all fighters. Fighters never give up. YOU are a fighter.

My name is "Ash"! πŸ–€

"BitterSweet Bipolar" is a MH awareness page all about my very own personal 'Bipolar' journey experience; battles & accomplishments πŸ–€

"BSB" is not only about spreading awareness, it is dedicated to supporting others with MH πŸ–€ This is the page where you can follow my very own 'Bipolar' & Mental Health journey. From a very early, young age, due to childhood trauma, I suffered w

ith (back then they would call it) 'Manic Depression.' However, I didn't get my official diagnosis of 'Bipolar Affective Disorder' until I was admitted into a mental health hospital back in 2015. This is where I spent three and a half weeks- which was the bravest, yet scariest decision I have made to date! Unfortunately, having tried to take my own life several times and using self harm as a coping mechanism, I understand how the mind can take you to dark places and the struggle it is to get 'through one more day', not just for the sake of yourself but also for the sake of your loved ones around you. As you may know, due to lack of funding in the healthcare system, and ratio of healthcare professionals to mental health sufferers, there is a very long wait to getting appropriate help and the correct diagnosis. For me, it always seemed like my life was (...and still is) "racing against the clock" and the scary worry for my family and friends of "will she get the right help in time?". One of the main reasons I created this MH journey page back in 2016, was to raise awareness of Bipolar Disorder, along with spreading awareness of all the other MH issues that come along side with it. Another reason, was to create support within the community and to show that those struggling with MH are NOT alone.

Hey everyone, not my usual content, but thought I'd do something a little different.

I haven't done any self care, or looked after myself in quite a while, so I'm in disbelief I've actually done something for myself πŸ˜‚

Anyways, I hope everyone is doing OK.
Please remember to reach out if you are struggling, and remember to check in on those around you πŸ–€

On a serious note, I hope everyone is doing good, or as good as they can be.
