Having any mental health issue can feel like an isolating experience.

In 2016, during my senior year of college, I went through one of the darkest periods of my mental health journey.

As with any mental illness, some days are really hard when you have bipolar disorder.

It hasn’t always been easy for me to admit when I’ve made mistakes in relationships, even when the other person expresses that I’ve hurt them in some way.

My head started reeling when I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder in 2016.

Sometimes it feels like my life can be split into two halves: before and after I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder.
