Last year, I missed my own birthday. I actually went out to dinner with two close friends for my 31st birthday. But I wasn’t really there.

I was experiencing my second manic-psychotic episode during that outing. The chemicals in my brain were roaring in imbalance.

Bipolar and Borderline: A Differential Roadmap
The essential problem in assessing bipolar disorder with other mental disorders is the lack of a clear roadmap for an accurate differential diagnosis. As I have written before, nearly two-thirds of people with bipolar have been misdiagnosed at least one time in their lives and will have consulted an average of nearly four professionals before receiving the proper bipolar diagnosis.

Yoga Transformed Me After a Scoliosis Diagnosis
I was in seventh gradewhen I was called out of class and down to the school nurse’s office for a routine scoliosis check. When I revealed my backbone, I caught a glimpse of the nurse’s face: It portrayed a mix of shock and sympathy. I wasn’t surprised. I knew that my spine looked like San Francisco’s famous twisty-turvy Lombard Street with its snake shape, marked by a 19-degree left curve in my neck, a 23-degree right curve in my upper back, and a 35-degree left curve in my lower back.

Everything You Need to Know About Starting Therapy
If you’ve ever been to the doctor for a routine physical, you probably know what to expect. This is standard. But when it comes to seeing a mental health professional, many people aren’t as familiar with the process. This, among other things, could deter someone from seeking the help they need. I’ve spent years in therapy, so I’m familiar with how it works. My hope is that together we can make this common knowledge, and ultimately alleviate the confusion and apprehension that comes with seeking this kind of help.

The First Time I Saw Myself On Screen as a Woman With Bipolar Disorder
Mental health as subject matter has clawed its way onto script pages and silver screens in recent years. But accurate portrayals of mental illness are still few and far between. The struggles of addiction have been seen in recent movies such as “Beautiful Boy” and TV series like “Euphoria.” In terms of visibility, anxiety and depression have been pushed into world consciousness through raw social media discussions and overall mental health awareness campaigns. And yet, as a 25-year-old woman with bipolar disorder, I didn’t see myself reflected in these conversations or on these screens. Until “Modern Love.”

5 Signs It Might Be Time to Find Another Friend
In much of American culture, it would be considered rude to bluntly declare that you no longer want to be friends. Thus, people often drop nonverbal hints that they would prefer to spend their time with others or that your friendship has lost value to them. I’ve always tended to process information literally, so the subtle nuances of people’s communication haven’t been the easiest to comprehend. If you’re like me, you may wonder how you can tell that the other individual has moved on, or simply that it is better to find a different friend.

What It Means to 'Find Your Center'

How to Practice Gratitude During Difficult Times
Call me crazy, but I’ve always tried my best to feel grateful for tough times. Every job interview that didn’t pan out and every relationship that ended opened up the opportunity for bigger and better things. However, there are some times where it feels selfish, wrong, or impossible to look for a “silver lining.” Sometimes you can’t find the lesson to be learned, and gratitude journaling prompts just feel like bullsh*t. But the truth is that gratitude is not frivolous or naive; it’s a coping strategy.

When I Finally Had to Admit Bipolar Disorder Makes It Hard to Work
I sat at my desk with my head in my hands, my head spinning with racing thoughts. “I don’t know if I can do this again,” was the prominent one surfacing over and over. Part of my daily routine was psyching myself up to get dressed and face my workday. I would pace in my office, dread each task and struggle to believe it was possible to make it to 4:30 p.m. when I could finally breathe again.

Dealing with Difficult People
Listen. We know how hard hard conversations are. And how much harder they get when the person you need to have one with hates them even more than you do. So, how the heck do you deal with difficult people? And not just in a pandemic or during the (virtual?) holidays (though that too), but every day, whether you work with them, live with them, date them, and/or gave birth to them.

The STUF That Difficult Emotions Are Made Of | Psychology Today
was on the phone with a friend the other day and I could tell he wasn’t feeling great. When I asked if everything was okay, he said, “I don’t know. I was really looking forward to a trip this summer, but my wife wants to spend our travel fund on home improvement.” Trying hard not to sound like a stereotypical movie psychologist (“…and how does that make you feel?”), I asked how he felt about all of this. “I really need a vacation. Work has been intense this year,” he said. “So what did you do?” I asked. “I was just super annoyed the rest of the night,” he told me.

Experiencing bodily discomfort can be scary, especially if it’s new. At first, you may have no clue what to do. You start out talking to family and friends. Eventually, you consider a doctor. The first visit is more confusing and angering than you expected. Aren’t doctors supposed to be like vending machines? You get the sniffles, you go in and out comes an antibiotic or nasal spray? Why is this so complicated?

How to 'Find Your Groove' While Sheltering in Place
President Kennedy was said to have been quoting a Chinese curse when he said, “May you live in interesting times.” Well, these times are nothing if not interesting. A global pandemic during a time of unprecedented global travel, communications, and commerce; at a time when our earth has more people on it and, therefore, a greater demand than ever for her resources. This, my friends, is getting interesting. As world leaders are responding with every conceivable action from doing nothing to enforcing quarantine with military action, we’re on a world’s stage like we’ve never seen before.

Why Seeking a Diagnosis Was Hard Despite My Debilitating Symptoms
The first person I needed to forgive was myself. I had forced my body to endure so much. I had started a new job and strived to show up completely. I committed myself to directing a holiday play. I even taught a dance fitness class to a group of women in honor of Women’s History Month, and promptly collapsed in my bed with exhaustion immediately after. Each day I showed up for everyone except myself.
