Hi, I'm Nah'Shon, and I'm currently active duty. While serving, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and while dealing with that sort of diagnosis, I found solace in blogging, podcasting, and producing. I'm in the process of losing my job after my organization found out I had a mental illness. After the initial shock, knowing I was going to lose my career, I decided to take matters into my own hands to change the narrative and culture surrounding mental health. Come join me as we collectively build a collation of voices to fight against the stigma! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theyoungandbipolar/support youngandbipolar.substack.com

I loved the way tequila hit the back of the throat until the abrupt rush of heat waved to my chest and radiated its way to the apex of my skull. Unfortunately, the disappearance of anxiety that I was feeling became the motor of mania. Get on the email list at youngandbipolar.substack.com
