There is no one or simple answer. Why not?
Because mental disease (yes disease) is NOT a decision. It is complex and multifaceted and colorful in a confusing and overwhelming way.
What is depression? What is bipolar disorder? What does it mean and how does it feel to love someone with mental illness?
I do not have a quick response to these important questions.
Instead I have created a podcast speaking to my lived experience with bipolar II disorder and I am in the process of writing my first book about this intense journey that started over 15 years ago….so if you feel like listening in, listen.
It’s called Notre Maailma. On anchor, Spotify and a medley of others.
No rush. no pressure. Respect what you need and want in this moment.
As the wise Lao Tzu states, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”
Take your time. Do you. Take care of yourself.
Be kinder to yourself and be kinder to your neighbour.
Please.
And thank you 🙂
