Do you feel trapped in a therapy or psychiatry relationship that feels stagnant, unsettling, or just plain wrong? This episode pulls no punches as hosts Gabe Howard — who lives with bipolar disorder — and Dr. Nicole Washington — a board certified psychiatrist — tackle the uncomfortable question most people think about but rarely voice: “How, and when, is it time to part ways with your mental health professional?" This direct and practical conversation cuts through the guilt, the logistics, and the myths about “ghosting” therapists, psychiatrists, and counselors. Dr. Nicole explains when walking away is OK, when to be careful (especially with meds), and why honest communication can actually be beneficial to you as the patient. Gabe brings the patient perspective — what it feels like to doubt care, to fear being “difficult,” and some tips to tell if the problem is the professional, your stage in recovery, or just a bad fit. Takeaways You don't have to explain, but honest conversation is usually the healthier choice. Plan transitions first: “Ghosting” can create dangerous gaps in your care. Ask for records and time your switch to minimize treatment disruption. If you've ever wondered whether you owe the professional an explanation, how to keep medication continuity, or what to ask on day one to avoid a mismatch later — this episode is for you. Expect blunt truth and step-by-step strategies to move on responsibly so your recovery doesn't skip a beat.

So this episode is with the brilliant Rosie Viva - model, mental health advocate, long-distance runner, and now author of the incredibly honest and moving book Completely Normal and Totally Fine (which I love the title of, by the way - it kind of says everything in four words).Rosie was diagnosed with bipolar one after a full-blown psychotic episode at Stansted Airport - which she talks about here in such raw and courageous detail. And we really go there - the experience of being sectioned, what psychosis actually feels like, the shame and silence that can come after, and the long road back to yourself.She also shares so many helpful insights - what helps her manage the highs and the lows, how running (not in the cliché Instagram way, but in a very real, grounded way) became part of her healing, and what people can actually do to support a friend who's struggling with bipolar or depression or just... anything, really.Rosie's humour, honesty and total lack of self-pity make this conversation so powerful. It's one of those episodes I think people will go back to more than once. I'm really grateful to her for sharing so openly and I hope it resonates with you as much as it did with me.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Rosie:Instagram: @rosievivaRead her book: https://amzn.eu/d/7xvlGGAFind out more and get support for Bipolar at https://www.bipolaruk.org/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Host Melanie Johnson sits down with Bob Stavnitsky, author and mental health advocate, to explore his personal journey living with bipolar disorder. Bob isn't just an expert—he's lived the experience himself, having spent decades navigating the challenges of undiagnosed symptoms, misdiagnosis, and recovery. In this candid conversation, Bob shares the moment he realized he was suffering from depression, the path that eventually led to his bipolar diagnosis, and the powerful impact the right support, medication, and self-acceptance can have on recovery.

Comedians John F. O'Donnell and Andrea Allan open up (in a hilarious way) about their experiences living with bipolar disorder.

TW: Open discussion of bipolar disorder, psychosis, psychiatric medication, suicidal ideation, and mental health crises. In this episode, NYC-based indie artist ROREY joins Jess to unpack the layered mental health journey behind her upcoming EP Dysphoria. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 21, ROREY shares what it felt like to be thrust into crisis mode, cycle through medications, and be left to process mania in solitude. Her candid reflections peel back the emotional truth of songs like “Nobody's Fault But My Own,” written from a moment of self-blame that later transformed into self-compassion. Together, they discuss the tension between healing and identity — how it can feel like your diagnosis erases the parts of you that once made sense. ROREY talks about redefining safety for herself, learning to be alone without feeling abandoned, and finding moments of spiritual clarity amid the chaos. This episode challenges the idea that recovery has to look linear, and instead offers a more nuanced take: maybe the most powerful thing you can do is simply stay. If you've ever felt like you were “too much,” or feared you'd never get back to the version of yourself before it all unraveled — this one will meet you right where you are.

Do you feel people are manipulating or using you because of your bipolar disorder diagnosis? If that question hits a nerve, this podcast episode is for you. When a listener emailed us because they felt they were being exploited due to their diagnosis, hosts Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar disorder) and Dr. Nicole Washington (a licensed psychiatrist) dove headfirst into a frank conversation about loneliness, control, and the messy reality of potentially unequal relationships. Gabe shares personal stories of how a friend used his desire for connection to get what they wanted — free tickets, emotional labor, and more — while giving little in return. Dr. Nicole helps unpack how mental illness can cloud your ability to spot toxic dynamics until it's too late. Together, they explore what it really means to set boundaries, recognize red flags, and take your power back without beating yourself up for what you allowed in the past. You'll learn how to rebuild your life with real friends, regain your self-worth, and protect your peace — one boundary at a time. If you've ever looked around and wondered, "Why do I feel like I'm the only one giving?" and wondered if you are being taken advantage of due to a bipolar diagnosis — listen now. “The real reality is I've lost friends for all kinds of reasons. Because I've switched jobs, because I've moved, because I'm no longer in high school, because I've outgrown them. The number one reason, honestly, is because I don't have children. And many of my friends went on to have kids. When you live with bipolar disorder, you tend to think that the only reason that you lose people is because of bipolar disorder. And I don't think that serves us. I think maybe a better way to look at it is, you know, when you were sick, these were your friends. But as you reached recovery, as you got better, you made different friends because your situation changed. And I think that's much healthier than saying, well, bipolar disorder cost me all my friends.” ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.

You think you know what resilience looks like.You picture someone gritting their teeth, pushing through, holding on tight.Someone who climbs mountains without oxygen, survives avalanches, makes it to magazine covers.This week's guest, Cory Richards, did all of that. He isn't just a world-renowned climber and National Geographic photographer, he's someone who has been to the edge, and then even further inward. From becoming the first American to summit an 8,000m peak in winter, to childhood trauma, being institutionalised at 14, homelessness at 15, battling bipolar disorder, addiction, sexual exploration that blurred consent, and suicidal ideation, his story is a mirror to everything we hide, deny, and eventually must face. But what he discovered is that none of that was resilience at all. It was survival.In this unforgettable conversation, Cory opens up about the long descent after the summit, the messy, nonlinear path of healing, identity, and emotional truth. His memoir The Color of Everything isn't just a book. It's a reckoning. And here, with radical honesty, we unravel the questions we rarely give men, or ourselves, permission to ask.We explore: – What surviving an avalanche teaches you about control, surrender, and mortality – How bipolar II and trauma shaped his mind and nearly took his life – Why sex became a substitute for safety, and what real intimacy requires – The complicated truth of masculinity, shame, and public accountability – Why survival isn't the same as resilience and why real resilience starts with letting go– How self-sourced love, community, and curiosity are changing the way he livesLove,Sarah Ann

In this episode of Busy Gallivanting, I'm opening up about my mental health journey in my 30s—sharing what it was like to get diagnosed with bipolar disorder, start mood stabilizers, and shift my healing practices to prioritize boundaries, rest, and self-worth. On my 32nd birthday, I'm reflecting on what it really means to be busy being—not performing, not hustling, but just existing, gently and fully.As an Asian-American woman, this diagnosis felt especially heavy—but also freeing. I talk about unlearning cultural stigma, navigating therapy and psychiatry, and creating daily rituals that feel like true care. Whether you're in your 20s or 30s, if you've ever felt like healing is a solo journey, I hope this feels like a call-in, not a call-out.

Send us a textThe boundary between bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder often blurs in popular understanding, leaving many confused about these distinct but sometimes overlapping conditions. In this third installment of our comprehensive bipolar disorder series, we untangle these commonly confused diagnoses by highlighting their fundamental differences.While both conditions involve mood disturbances, the patterns reveal crucial distinctions. Borderline personality disorder manifests as rapid, moment-to-moment mood shifts often triggered by interpersonal interactions and frequently accompanied by self-harming behaviors. Bipolar disorder, however, involves extended periods of mania or depression that can last weeks, months, or even a year—a temporal difference that significantly impacts diagnosis and treatment approaches.We explore who typically develops bipolar disorder, with most cases emerging in individuals' mid-twenties. Though affecting males and females in equal numbers (approximately 5.7 million Americans overall), the condition presents differently across genders. Females tend toward "rapid cycling," experiencing more frequent mood transitions possibly due to hormonal differences and medication patterns.The podcast conversation weaves through serious clinical information while maintaining an accessible, sometimes lighthearted tone—exemplified by our celebration of co-host Matt's recent hole-in-one golf achievement. This balance reflects our approach to mental health discussions: factual and informative while remaining human and relatable.Understanding bipolar disorder means accepting that everyone's brain is wired uniquely. Whether you're personally affected by this condition or supporting someone who is, recognizing these differences is the first step toward effective management and treatment. Join us for the next episode as we continue exploring this complex condition with compassion and clarity.Looking for mental health resources or interested in hypnotherapy approaches?

In this episode, I introduce you to Lindsey G. who has a blended family with three children with her current husband and 5 cats.  Lindsey found Organize 365® when she was searching for organizational podcasts. The Organize 365® message resonated with Lindsey so she started to binge the podcast.  After being a single mom for over a decade, it was a lot to all of the sudden have extra people in the house as their families came together. In Dec. of ‘23 Lindsey had decided to leave her job as a band teacher at a charter school and open her own music school. She also thought to herself “I don't have to be this busy. I want a new normal.” And that's when she went searching for podcasts to support her getting organized. Lindsey shared how much empowerment she feels from doing the Sunday Basket®. I was curious how she thought single parent life would have been if she had known about the Sunday Basket® then.  That led to a more in depth conversation about single women who are the parent, provider, and house manager.  I let out a little secret about a project we are working on in this vein, gotta listen to get the scoop! She wishes she'd learned then that she was worth the money and time investment. She also initially squirmed at the idea of routine structure. Now that she's made the investment, she has since realized routinely doing her Sunday Basket® frees up time and helps her to plan for creative time. She wishes she'd found the Sunday Basket® because as a single mom so she could have been much more efficient with her time.  Lindsey was vulnerable enough to share that she has bipolar. It is managed but she still has the high and low energy swings. The Sunday Basket® helps her to take care of necessary tasks during low energy and do extra tasks when she has extra energy.  Lindsey got the Launch Program to send her son off to college, and the Holiday Blitz to better plan November and December which she now sees as “one month.”  She plans for the things that happen each season, they aren't new things and they aren't surprising Lindsey anymore. It wasn't so much that she had an ah hah moment that something was organized as much as she notices her ability to maximize time. She has maxed out efficiency when running errands, planning her week, and even looking at her time in the pie wheels during Planning Day. Now instead of thinking “maybe I can make it all work” on a weekly basis, she plans her time, Mon- Fri and then Sat separately from Sunday, in Planning Day. With her understanding of the invisible load she can be much more intentional. She's thankful that she has ditched the “you gotta be busy to be important” belief. Lindsey has more peace, confidence, and surety that tasks will get done.  Lindsey's advice is, “Binge the podcast. Find the ones that resonate with you. Then get the Sunday Basket® and when you feel ready add on other products and systems.”  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Launch Program Home Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey. I am grateful that you are reaching out to share with me and with this community. You can see and hear transformation in action.

Laura Delano, was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder when she was a teenager and would go on to spent 13 years receiving psychiatric care, both as inpatient and outpatient. In the process,  she accumulated more and diagnoses, and was given more and more drugs. But - as she explains in her new book: Unshrunk – How the mental health industry took over my life and my fight to get it back, published by Monoray - there was a problem, Laura wasn't getting better. Despite being a high achieving student for whom it had once appeared a glittering future awaited, her life had fallen apart. She had dropped out of university, was unable to hold down a job and had tried to kill herself. But then one day Laura had a life-changing epiphany - was it possible that rather than the care and medications she was receiving helping her,  might they actually be causing her problems? Gradually over several years, she weaned herself off all her medication – no easy process given the withdrawal effect of many psychiatric drugs . But the impact was transformative and today Laura has completely turned her life around.  So what went wrong with Laura's care?  And why was the medical system unable to recognise how the treatment was making her worse not better?

Brandon Stickney remembers booze being everywhere growing up in Lockport, New York and he definitely remembers getting a taste for it growing up. Over time, he developed bipolar disorder and his substance use disorder added cocaine and opioids as favorite drugs. Brandon's love of getting high would cost him his marriage, his successful career as a journalist and author, and his freedom, after getting busted selling drugs and being sentenced to two years in prison. He tells us about what it's like to live with mental health issues behind bars, how both prescription drugs and illicit narcotics work there, and he tells the stories of people who helped him get through. Brandon's memoir of the experience is The Five People You Meet In Prison. Brandon lives in Florida now with his father and is working hard on his sobriety.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Send us a textKristina Cook is a wife and mom of two from Nova Scotia, Canada, whose amazing 11-year-old daughter struggled with ADHD, OCD, & treatment resistant bipolar disorder for six years.Eventually, Kristina started looking outside the conventional medical and mental health systems for answers. This quest led her to MAHA Moms, RFK Jr., Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Chris Palmer, and ultimately conversations about health, food, and politics she never expected to find herself concerned about until now.In understanding the reasons why we are all so sick, she was able to put her daughter's bipolar disorder into remission and have her off all medications within 6 weeks and turn her entire family's health and lives around in the process.Kristina lives in Nova Scotia with her husband Ryan, her son Noah, her incredible daughter Genevieve and their 2 dogs, where they are living an entirely new life now that bipolar disorder no longer controls their home. She is raising awareness in her online community for safe, clean, whole foods and metabolic therapies, and helping others learn how to adapt from the Standard Western Diet to a whole food and ketogenic diet.Find Kristina at-IG- @thebetterhumansprojectFB- @The Better Humans ProjectDr. Casey Means and Calley Means on The Tucker Carlson ShowFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

In this episode, you'll discover the essential truths no one tells you when you get a new diagnosis: why bipolar is a lifelong journey (yes, it's more like diabetes than a short-term infection), how to sort gold standard science from Reddit rumors, and why medications — while not magic — can be game‑changers when wielded wisely. Whether you're fresh off your diagnosis or need a foundational refresher, press play and arm yourself with the knowledge, skills, and community wisdom that can turn this new chapter into your strongest one yet.  “When it comes to bipolar disorder, I caution you against answer shopping.

"Beneath the Lilypad" is singer-songwriter Alexandra Savior's third album, but her first in five years. Several years ago, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, type 1. That's a condition marked with manic highs that can last for weeks or months as well as crushing lows of depression, she's had both, you'll hear about that. She's also dealt with psychosis, and has spent time in an in-patient facility. That mental health journey has informed her work as a songwriter and a musician and inspired the songs on the new album. She just turned 30 but she's been performing since high school when she was more or less discovered on YouTube by Courtney Love who helped launch her career.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
