We need to stop using #bipolar as another way of saying our mood has changed. We all experience changes in our mood, but using “bipolar” casually to describe a changeable mood can minimise the reality of living with the condition and contribute to misunderstanding and stigma.

It’s important to celebrate the small wins. ⭐ You asked for help despite it feeling uncomfortable. ⭐ You set a boundary despite worrying how others would react. ⭐ You did the thing even though you felt anxious. ⭐ You’re looking after yourself in the ways you need to.

What would younger you think if they could see you now? 💛 They'd see everything you've made it through. And all the ordinary days you kept going when things were difficult. Younger you might be pretty proud. 💛

Sometimes self-care doesn't feel particularly relaxing. It can look like saying no. Going to bed when there's more to do. Asking someone for help. Setting a boundary even when it feels uncomfortable. Sometimes the things that protect our wellbeing are the harder choices. 💛

Bipolar can cause significant changes in mood and energy, including episodes of mania depression. During an episode, someone you know and love may behave in ways that seem very different from usual. They are still the same person you know and love. Right now, they are unwell. 💛
