Do you wish you had someone to understand what you're going through or have been through?I fell in love with a man that had the most attractive energy I had ever met. He was attentive, sexy, strong, intelligent, enthusiastic and had a quick wit. He was the best hype guy and ready to ride at anytime. Want to get a coffee? Yes. Want to meet for a drink? Yes. You want to move? Yes. I was drawn into a relationship with someone because of his powerful energy of willingness and his ability to lock his attention onto me. The attention that I was getting from him made me feel like I could accomplish anything because he had such a strong ride and fly attitude. It dissolved the fears of post trauma, of being alone or abandoned. That's why I married someone with bipolar without knowing it. My story is from the view of the partner that has fallen in love with someone with a very serious illness and the intimate details of what we went through as the illness unfolded. Bipolar tore our life down and we had to fight to restore it, and 15 years later, I'm still telling the story. But I've been hearing your stories too, and all the people that have reached out to me over the years have lit up a passion in me to never let anyone be alone with bipolar. This is my mission and my heart's call to change the way we do a relationship with a loved one with bipolar. Connect with TempleTempleleffingwell@gmail.comInstagramFacebookAmazon / Kindle"Whoops, I Married Bipolar: An Inside Look at A Real Relationship with Mental Illness" Book / AudioBookLinksHeart Healers Brain GangMajor TransformationHealing Foundation90 Minute One on One Post Production for I Married Bipolar is done by:...

Anita treasures sleep and moments of silence. So when she hears typical narratives of early parenthood that include unending cries and restless nights, she has concerns for the mental toll on new parents. But culturally there is a lot of silence around how challenging it can be and recognizing deteriorating mental health while caring for another person can be isolating. In part two of the postpartum series "Delivered," she meets a prolific artist whose experience with postpartum depression catalyzed a mental health journey and a diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder. She also talks to a couple about what folks should know about sex and relationships postpartum and why the mental health of non-birthing partners should be part of the postpartum conversation.

She didn't think she'd be able to move out, to have a partner, or to have a “normal” job. Well, she conquered the first two, but her job is anything but normal. Emma began sharing her story publicly in the online space less than a year after her diagnosis, feeling called to support others in their journey through healing and daily recovery by chronicling her own.   Emma is a firm believer that people should get to be themselves and that none of us aew ever “too much.”We don't always fit into the box the world tells us we're supposed to fit into, and that should be celebrated.   Her Ted Talk “From Sick To Six Figures” can be found here: https://www.ted.com/talks/emma_barrera_from_sick_to_six_figures   Find her on IG at: @righthandglam Find Audrey on IG at: @helloaudreyrose Tag us in a screenshot of this episode shared to your stories so we can share it, and get pumped for you about what INSPIRED YOU!!!

Latrice Prater is a Neurodivergent CEO of The Digital Solutions Team, a virtual agency providing tech and operations solutions to female business owners. Latrice is a wife and mother of 3, who currently resides in the Austin Texas area.  She is fiercely passionate about people, personal and professional development, and harnessing her authenticity to attract her tribe. Latrice loves to provide training and guidance to women who are service providers with online businesses and identify as neurodivergent.  As a woman in business with ADHD, Generalized Anxiety, Bipolar II Disorder, and Insomnia, she knows firsthand the challenges one faces to run and sustain a profitable business.   She started her journey as a business owner in February 2020 as a solopreneur. She now leads a small agency that consists of a team of 13 amazing women and continues to scale her six-figure business because she's harnessed her secret sauce.  Listen in as we chat about neurodivergency in business, hiring for your weaknesses, and figuring out how to harness your strengths to propel your business forward. Latrice was so much fun to talk to, and I cannot wait for you to dive in!  Highlights from This Episode: Building a revenue generating, sustainable business, with a team, while dealing with ADHD and other neurodivergencies.  How she works and the ways in which she communicates that to her clients and her team. Where she's been able to find success in both identifying new clients and in running her team. Why leading from a service mindset has helped propel her forward both in life and business. Why niching down is so hard for female, neurodivergent entrepreneurs. Captivating Quotes from this Episode: Everything about me is what you see is what you get. I'm very much like that on social media. Because I always tell people, the whole purpose of wanting to start a business was because I didn't want to conform to society's idea of what professionalism should be or should look like. I always tell people if you don't want to throw your business away, at least once a week, then you're not doing it right, because I want to throw it away every other day. Because I didn't take everybody else's advice and niche down, my ADHD brain was allowed to just do what it wanted to do a little bit. Because even though, at the time, I was focused on admin, I had clients that were in so many different industries that I didn't get bored. What I've really found out is the secret sauce to business is me. I am the secret sauce. I'm the reason why my business pops is because people like me. So how am I showing them me if I'm trying to follow somebody else. So that's why I quickly was able to shift because I was like, This doesn't feel authentic. It is a limiting belief to believe that I only have to create one thing and just offer one thing. Because how my business grew was the simple fact that I did not niche down it was because I kind of went with the ebbs and flows. If I liked it, great. If I didn't, I wouldn't do it again.   Links: Grab Latrice's Free Client Attraction Guide: https://subscribepage.io/dstfreeguide (How Authenticity Attracts Your Ideal Client) https://www.thedigitalsolutionsteam.com/serviceslist (The Digital Solutions Team) https://www.facebook.com/virtualsolutionsforher (Facebook) | https://www.linkedin.com/company/digitalsolutionsteam (LinkedIn) | https://www.instagram.com/vasupport4her/ (Instagram) https://my.captivate.fm/www.juliecalcote.com (www.juliecalcote.com) https://my.captivate.fm/www.julietraining.com/starterkit (www.julietraining.com/starterkit) BEFORE YOU GO: Don't forget to rate review and subscribe to the Dreamer's Manual Podcast so we can continue to bring you tailored content to help you build your dreams, evolve in your journey, and bust through those limits so you can create and sustain a thriving business!

Erin Gilmer is a PEO Benefits Specialist in St. Pete, FL. She was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder 10 years ago and has spent a decade taking note of the factors that help her live a happy and healthy life. In addition to sleep, nutrition, and therapy, Erin says a key component of her mental health is setting boundaries and saying no…to herself.

Isabelle & David welcome Isabelle's husband, Bobby, and their friends, Christina, AJ, and Gabe, to continue to listen and learn from David's tried and tested presentation on ADHD, which he normally gives to fellow clinicians (for the 1st-5th parts of this talk, please see episode 4, All About ADHD Part I; episode 6, All About ADHD Part II; episode 9, All About ADHD Part III; episode 12, All About ADHD Part IV; episode 15, All About ADHD Part V). The audience checks in about the things they've remembered from previous lectures—the need for structure, wins, energy bar (making sure you use your energy during the day)—inability to integrate past memories into future experience means you have to develop metacognition, thinking about your thinking. What are we going to do about ADHD? ADHD is most often scapegoated for the world's crap. For example, people dealing with all kinds of things, but the one diagnosis a parent will share on the playground after their kids shows all kinds of behaviors is ADHD, not the OCD, Bipolar II Disorder, etc. that their child is also experiencing. We also only attribute things to ADHD when they're negative or could be viewed as negative—for example, after a meltdown—“It's my ADHD” when no one ever completes a task brilliantly and says “it's my ADHD!” Are people born having ADHD? Yes, you are born with it, you are genetically predisposed to it, if you have it someone in your family likely has it, and in places where ADHD is not present in the entire family, there is a family traumatic experience that can prime you, and even specific gene setups that can link to being more or less vulnerable to environmental factors (See Orchid Children article below). David talks about ADHD as a gift, referencing his incredible friend, Bill, who's excited and about to make anything exciting when he talks about it. He travels the world giving speeches, writing articles, or improving his investment portfolios, the man does not relax—this is also about ADHD. It's genetic, not a choice. What we do have a choice in is how we develop frustration tolerance, developing a sense of who you are, developing your self-esteem: that's the variable. You have to believe you can do “it,” no matter how realistic, the belief needs to be fostered. The second most important thing is advocating for accommodations: knowing what you need and asking for it. The third most important thing is metacognition (thinking about thinking): knowing why the accommodation works, knowing you can do it because you've done it before—understanding why it works—for example, knowing you're frustrated because you didn't use your energy bar. Some people are born like an orchid, some are born like a dandelion: a dandelion can grow through a concrete slab, you can mow over them, they grow right back. David describes the orchid he is purchasing for his love and partner, Robin, and got this orchid and then he says he's going to take care of it, and he killed it in a week. You can also put one ice cube on the orchid a week (or sprays)—and let it run with water. Students in schools are all treated like dandelions; but if you water an orchid like you water a dandelion, it's dead. But orchids are beautiful, they last so long, they grow on some of the most inhospitable things, they add color and beauty to anything. What are the environmental watering instructions for someone with ADHD—it's constantly having a menu and having to do things differently. Knowing why you struggle with something—a school would never take someone in a wheelchair and asks them to walk—they would create accommodations. So why take someone with ADHD and ask them to do something that they need to do differently and ask them to do it the same? ADHD is not a learning disability, it's a sitting still, a pacing disability (when things move slowly, David turns into an insane person—like a slow-walking person…but put him in the trenches and he's ready)—so he crosses the street, he goes out of the way to mitigate his frustration.  Using a relief pitcher metaphor from baseball, a relief pitcher doesn't pitch the whole game, or run, or hit the ball—it's hard to define them as a baseball player…but they're highly coveted for what they do.  Now imagine a relief pitcher saying to their school: “I want to be a baseball player” so the school focuses on the running, hitting the ball, etc. but…it misses the thing that person does and does well. So part of the accommodation is knowing where you a relief pitcher, what you do well, and staying in your lane. For example, David and his partner set it up so that he has an allowance and passes money to her—not because he's in shame about how he manages money, but because it helps him stay in his lane and not spend all his money on jujubes. The best accommodations are ones we make ourselves. One type of accommodation is Differential Reinforcement of the Other (DRO) which means that you make the behavior you're trying to avoid not an option. For example, if you're trying to not bite your nails, you wear gloves or bandaids so that you can't bite them. So you get a win without having to deny yourself all the time. Like if you want donuts or marshmallows but you don't buy them so they're not available when you crave them, so you win even though you don't have to try to ‘win.' Another example: you're struggling to study in study hall because you want to talk to your friends: switch rooms so you're not with your friends. Instead of expecting yourself to regulate the distractions, which you cannot do well with ADHD, you change your environment to eliminate the distraction. It's not wiring together the urge with the thought with the behavior, because it can set you up for lower self-esteem and self-confidence—if you keep failing at resisting something, you believe you can't resist it. Another comparison is like a smoker trying to quit smoking—you can't break the urge to smoke, but you can not have cigarettes on you when the urge hits. David emphasizes that one accommodation fits one person, there isn't a one size fits all: instead it's changing how you think about making accommodations. The group brainstorms ways to do DRO accommodation when you're always facing something—like when you're trying to eat healthy when eating out, but tempted by all the options. You can try to not have a menu—or having a time window when you are a sticking to a boundaried diet (10-2p)—so harm is reduced. Harm reduction is one way to think about it, versus abstinence.Orchid Children article David mentions (renamed “The Science of Success”) (Source: The Atlantic, 2009)DAVID'S DEFINITIONSDifferential Reinforcement of the Other (DRO): Making the behavior you're trying to avoid not an option. How to succeed without having to combat an urge. For example: not having the amazon app so you don't buy things impulsively, not buying the marshmallows so you don't have them at home when hit with the urge to eat them. If you struggle in study hall because you want to talk to friends, you switch study hall to a room that doesn't have your friends in it. Metacognition: Thinking about thinking. Knowing why something works, like an accomodation. A crucial skill to hone to help you work with your ADHD. For lecture slides, full show notes, and more, check out our website!-----Cover Art by: Sol VázquezTechnical Support by: Bobby Richards—————

Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit comes to us from Research & Access Services Librarian Hilary and is about Bipolar disorder. Hilary has been long been running a program titled Issues that Matter that focuses on problems our society is facing using, mostly, fiction. On November 29th, the program will be reading and discussing The Silver Linings Playbook a book that deals with Bipolar disorder and trauma responses. In the book the main character, Pat, has just come home from a psychiatric hospital where he was hospitalized following a destructive manic outburst. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In additional to bipolar disorder Silver Linings Playbook also has a character who portrays a trauma response, characterized by depression and risky behaviors. Bipolar disorder are disorders that cause shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, concentration, and ability to function. There are currently three types of Bipolar disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, called the DSM-5, Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, and Cyclothymic Disorder. Each disorder has different diagnostic criteria. I'm going to cut in here to say that I am not a psychiatrist. I do not have a degree in any field of psychology. I cannot and will not diagnose anyone and no one should use any of the following information to diagnose anyone. If you think any of this criteria matches your lived experience please talk to your doctor or a psychiatrist. I know that may be too expensive for a lot of people but if you are in a position to be able to visit a doctor please ask them about your concerns. In order to be diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder a person must have had at least one manic episode. This episode may or may not have been preceded by a hypomanic or major depressive episode. The manic episode cannot be better explained by a different diagnosis. In order to be diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder a person must have had at least one hypomanic episode and at least one major depressive episode and the symptoms of these episodes must cause significant disruption of the person's life. They can never have had a manic episode. The hypomania and depression cannot be better explained by a different diagnosis. In order to be diagnosed with Cyclothymic Disorder a person must have had many periods of both hypomania and depression for at least two years. With the hypomania and the depression sharing the time evenly. The symptoms of these episodes significantly disrupts the person's life. The hypomanis and depression cannot be better explained by a different diagnosis. I am not going to explain mania, hypomania, and depression and the criteria or definition of the Bipolar Disorder will not make much sense. Mania and hypomania have mostly the same symptoms, however, they do not have them to the same degree. Mania is the more severe of the two and can also present with psychosis. However, a manic or hypomanic episode must present with three or more of the following symptoms: abnormally upbeat, jumpy or wired, increased activity,

What is Bipolar II Disorder and what does it have to do with this podcast?For the past 15 years, Ashley Hlebinsky has been immersed in the study of firearms history, technology, and culture becoming one of the nation's foremost authorities on the subject. Hlebinsky has researched and worked in several nationally recognized firearms and weapons collections, including the Smithsonian Institution's National Firearms Collection and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West's Cody Firearms Museum. For the past decade, she worked for and ran the Cody Firearms Museum, one of the largest and only accredited firearms museums in the country.Ashley has accomplished a lot during her relatively short career - achieving all of these milestones before her 30th birthday. While many have described her as the "energizer bunny" and "overly passionate," juggling multiple high stress, high level projects, that level of energy is often punctuated with behind-the-scenes exhaustion and depression. In November 2020 she finally made sense of the opposite sides to her life. Realizing that maybe it's not "normal" to have a full time job, build a museum, run a consulting business, as well as film an entire season of a TV show at the same time, she was ultimately diagnosed with Bipolar 2 disorder.  Find Ashley at The Gun Code, on Instagram, on Facebook, or on Twitter.

USA's Katherine Nye is a world champion weightlifter heading to the Olympics aged 22. In 2019, during one of her most successful year as an athlete, she was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder and mild ADHD. Nye talks about why it's so important to her to speak publicly about her mental health, her hopes for Tokyo 2020, and why looking strong is different to being strong.

www.bullythemusic.comA very old saying goes that no one saves us but ourselves. Recognizing and breaking free from the patterns impeding our forward progress can be transformative — just ask Bully's Alicia Bognanno. Indeed, the third Bully album, SUGAREGG , may not ever have come to fruition had Bognanno not navigated every kind of upheaval imaginable and completely overhauled her working process along the way.“There was change that needed to happen and it happened on this record,” she says. “Derailing my ego and insecurities allowed me to give these songs the attention they deserved.”SUGAREGG roars from the speakers and jumpstarts both heart and mind. Like My Bloody Valentine after three double espressos, opener “Add It On” zooms heavenward within seconds, epitomizing Bognanno's newfound clarity of purpose, while the bass-driven melodies and propulsive beats of “Where to Start” and “Let You” are the musical equivalents of the sun piercing through a perpetually cloudy sky.On songs like the strident “Every Tradition” and “Not Ashamed,” Bognanno doesn't shy away from addressing “how I feel as a human holds up against what society expects or assumes of me as a woman, and what it feels like to naturally challenge those expectations.”But amongst the more dense topics, there's also a lightheartedness that was lacking on Bully's last album, 2017's Losing . Pointing to “Where to Start,” “You” and “Let You,” Bognanno says “there are more songs about erratic, dysfunctional love in an upbeat way, like, ‘I'm going down and that's the only way I want to go because the momentary joy is worth it.'”The artist admits that finding the proper treatment for bipolar 2 disorder radically altered her mindset, freeing her from a cycle of paranoia and insecurity about her work. “Being able to finally navigate that opened the door for me to write about it,” she says, pointing to the sweet, swirly “Like Fire” and slower, more contemplative songs such as “Prism” and “Come Down” as having been born of this new headspace. Even small changes like listening to music instead of the news first thing in the morning “made me want to write and bring that pleasure to other people.”An unexpected foray into the film world also helped set the table for Sugaregg when Bognanno was asked to write songs for the 2019 movie Her Smell , starring Elisabeth Moss as the frontwoman of the fictional rock band Something She. “It got me motivated to play music again after the last album,” she says. “I loved reading the script and trying to think, what music would the character write? People asked if I'd play those songs with Bully but the whole point was for them to not be Bully songs. It was nice to get my head out of my own ass for a second and work on a project for someone else,” she says with a laugh.A highly accomplished engineer who ran the boards herself on the first two Bully albums, Bognanno was ready to be free “from the weight of feeling like I had to prove to the world I was capable of engineering a record, and wanted to be content knowing for myself what I can do without needing the approval of others to validate that.”So for SUGAREGG , she yielded recording and mixing responsibilities to outside collaborators for the first time and trekked to the remote Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minn., an unexpected return to her home state. Behind the console was John Congleton, a Grammy-winner who has worked with everyone from St. Vincent and Sleater-Kinney to The War on Drugs and Modest Mouse. “Naturally, I still had reservations, but John was sensitive to where I was coming from,” Bognanno says. “He was very respectful that I'd never worked with a producer before.”The studio's rich history (classics such as Nirvana's In Utero, PJ Harvey's Rid of Me and Superchunk's Foolish were recorded there) and woodsy setting quickly put Bognanno's mind at ease. Being able to bring her dog Mezzi along for the trip didn't hurt either. “I had never tracked a record in the summer, so waking up and going outside with her before we started each day was a great way to refresh,” she says.SUGAREGG features additional contributions from longtime touring drummer Wesley Mitchell and bassist Zach Dawes, renowned for his work on recent albums by Sharon Van Etten and Lana Del Rey. Dawes and Bognanno met at Pachyderm to work on parts just two days before tracking, “but it ended up being so much less stressful than I had expected and I loved it,” she says. “Zach wanted to be there to help and make my vision happen.”With 14 songs on tape, Bognanno and friends left Pachyderm thinking SUGAREGG was done. But once back home in Nashville, she realized there was more to be written, and spent the next five months doing exactly that. Moving to Palace Studios in Toronto with Graham Walsh (Alvvays, METZ, !!!), Bognanno and Mitchell recorded “Where to Start” and “Let You,” which proved to be two of the new album's key tracks.Ultimately, SUGAREGG is a testament that profound change can yield profound results — in this case, the most expressive and powerful music of Bognanno's career. “This is me longing to see the bigger picture, motivated and eager for contentment in the best way,” she says. “I hope the happy go lucky / fuck-it-all attitude shines through some of these songs because I really did feel like I was reentering a place I hadn't been to in a while and was excited to be back there.”

“Even opening my eyes was just a miserable experience and I just didn't understand it.” Two years after her sister’s death and in the grips of anguish and despair, Andrea Wilson Woods sat on the edge of a rooftop in San Francisco thinking it would be so easy to leap. Coming to her senses, she decided not to end it all. But that incident sparked something in Andrea: a nagging feeling it wasn’t just a profound grief she had felt since losing her sister. But as Andrea broached the topic with her therapist, her concerns were ignored.  Seeking a second opinion confirmed her suspicions: She had Bipolar II Disorder. While the diagnosis brought relief, Andrea was hesitant to speak out about it -- until many years later when realized sharing her story was the only way to normalize mental health. https://letsnottalkaboutit.comHosts: Camille TuuttiSharon TigerAmanda Ziadeh Guest: Andrea Wilson WoodsExpert: Yuritzy Gomez Serrano, AMFTEditor:Tessa HallBehind the Scenes: Lisa AbeytaMusic: “Incoming” by Jeffrey C.

Alicia Bognanno of Bully joins the show this week to discuss her struggle with Bipolar II disorder. The singer-songwriter explains how she experiences both hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes that were marked by paranoia and anxiety. During these episodes, Bognanno says she would feel as if someone else had “taken the wheel.” The Sub Pop artist shares how she's learned to manage her Bipolar II with a range of strategies, including medication, therapy, exercise, and, of course, music.

My friend Wendi Jagerson, married mother of two and one grandson, bravely shares her journey with complicated life challenges that started after her successful mission in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Wendi starts with her journey with Bipolar II Disorder which was diagnosed in 1994. Wendi talks about how it eventually became very difficult to leave her own home and how she wasn't able to enjoy church or social contact for several years. Wendi talks about her journey to find hope and healing. Wendi continues with her husband John opening up about his unbelief in 2012 (he is an atheist) and her two adult children also leaving the Church. Wendi talks about how she loves and admires John and how she is keeping the family circle strong and together, while leaving all this at the Savior’s feet. It is a remarkable love story including the birth of their grandson. Wendi also shares about her MS diagnosis in 2013. Wendi’s life is very different than she envisioned flying home from her mission in 1994. But Wendi’s story, like many of our stories, is about the realities of mortality—and how to find hope and healing living with those realities—and the role of therapists, medication, friends, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to give perspective to move forward. If you are in a tough spot, please listen to Wendi's story. It will give you hope and better tools to move forward. Thank you Wendi for the courage to share your story. You and your family are awesome.

Using a plant-free carnivore diet, L. Amber O'Hearn went from years of depression and bipolar type II disorder to being in remission for 11 years. For complete show notes, visit http://youcuredwhat.com/podcast/amber[2:30] Amber considered herself happy as a child and teenager, but by the time she was 20, she was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, and ultimately with treatment-resistant depression. [4:30] In her young adulthood, Amber's energy, joy, and motivation dissipated. Things she used to find enjoyable stopped feeling enjoyable. [5:25] Amber describes her initial experience with antidepressants. Ultimately, she took them for over a decade. [7:10] Amber describes the typical type of bipolar disorder (which she was never diagnosed with). It involves mania and depression in cycles and can sometimes end in delusions of grandeur and/or a psychotic break. [8:40] Amber was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 disorder. It does not involve total mania, but it also involves cycles of elevated mood followed by a crash. It can also involve mixed states. [10:40] Her bipolar type 2 disorder was impacting her whole life and all of her relationships. [11:30] Amber was actually excited to get the bipolar 2 diagnosis because she thought it provided hope; perhaps she couldn't cure her depression before because it had been a misdiagnosis. [12:30] Amber had many bad symptoms, including not being able to find words when speaking, and she even felt a form of "brain zaps", amongst other symptoms. [15:40] Amber describes how frustrating it was in moments of self-awareness to see that she was not acting rationally. [20:15] Amber talks about what happened with her physical health as she dealt with mental health issues. In her experience, weight gain was often associated with mood and/or mental health issues. [21:40] Amber weighed in at her highest weight (around 195 pounds, being 5-foot-6) around the end of 2008. She got up to that weight despite eating a low carbohydrate diet, which had initially helped both her weight and her mood. [23:30] Amber's weight gain was frustrating because she felt like she was doing everything right. She was reading all about the science of low carbohydrate diets and was convinced that they were beneficial. But despite eating low carb with lots of vegetables, she was gaining weight slowly. (She also attributes some of her weight gain to pregnancies.) [26:00] One day in late 2008, Amber came across an online forum called Zeroing In On Health where people were eating only meat. No plants. The forum members had stories which seemed relatable to her; many of them had breakthrough success with this plant-free diet. [28:50] Amber initially started a zero-carb diet with a "diet" mindset to lose weight (with the idea that maybe then she could go back to low carb and maintain her weight). [29:30] Within a few weeks of starting this plant-free diet, Amber lost a bunch of weight and her mood had improved. She just felt good. And her husband commented that he hadn't known how to tell her, but in those few weeks, her mood had been more stable than it had been in all of the eight years they'd been married. [32:20] Amber now refers to this diet as a carnivore diet instead of zero carb, as it emphasizes its plant-free nature. [33:30] Amber was pregnant shortly after starting this diet. She did not stay carnivore for her entire pregnancy (though she would sometimes go days at a time plant-free), but she did have to go off her psychiatric medications for the pregnancy. Within a few days of giving birth, Amber went back to her plant-free carnivore diet, and she has never needed psychiatric meds again. She has been free from psychiatric medications for about 11 years as of recording. [37:30] No one was more surprised about her health improvements on carnivore than Amber herself. She was quite surprised to improve her health by removing vegetables. [41:00] A video by Dr. Georgia Ede in 2012 turned on a lot of the lightbulbs in Amber's head for why her carnivore diet was working. Dr. Ede's speech was about the mechanisms by which plants need to defend themselves. Often, plants use toxins. [46:00] Amber finds that animal-based foods often are full of vitamins and minerals; meat is much more than just protein. [48:00] There is a wide variety of foods available to someone eating a plant-free carnivore diet. Amber does not feel deprived whatsoever. [49:30] What foods does Amber focus on for her carnivore diet? She focuses on beef, but also likes pork (especially pork belly), eggs, brain (!!!), butter, salmon, mackerel, chicken thighs, and oysters. [52:20] After the initial weight loss that came from her adoption of a plant-free diet, how has her weight and body composition been impacted? [53:00] "The one thing that happened to me when I first went on a carnivore diet is I stopped getting sick." She says she doesn't often mention that because it sounds so crazy. She didn't get as much as a cold for her first 8 years on carnivore. [53:30] Amber does not consider herself cured of bipolar type 2; she considers herself in remission. [56:50] Despite some weight regain (which Amber attributes at least partially to some infections and corresponding antibiotic usage), Amber has not felt any dissipation in the psychiatric benefits she has gotten from her plant-free carnivore diet. [58:30] Amber went on a carnivore diet in 2009 which lines up with her terrific improvement in mental health. Is there anything else Amber could point to, besides the diet, that might have impacted this improvement? She surmises that coming off the antidepressants and pregnancy could have also benefited her. But she just knows that something is different from the diet. [1:04:00] At her website mostly-fat.com, Amber has a How-to Guide for the carnivore diet. [1:07:35] Now that Amber has improved her health, what is one thing she enjoys doing that she couldn't do before? [1:08:45] Where can Amber be reached online? Her website is mostly-fat.com and her Twitter handle is @KetoCarnivore [1:11:00] As a closing message, Amber mentions that if the listener has an autoimmune, psychiatric, or other condition that they think could potentially be benefited by a carnivore diet. . . trying it for a month is a a low-risk, high-potential-benefit intervention. Her how-to guide is a great resource for anyone interested.

In this week's episode we talk with author Willa Goodfellow on her journey with Bipolar II Disorder. Willa is an Episcopal priest turned author (Prozac Monologues) who talked to us about her turbulent mental health journey. From an antidepressant-induced hypomania episode that hijacked her Costa Rican vacation, to the discovery that she had been misdiagnosed, and to learning how to manage life on the bipolar spectrum. Willa shares with us how her Bipolar Disorder went undetected for years since it was seen as depression, and it wasn't until her partner was able to help her advocate for treatment that Willa was able to find stability and recovery. Bipolar II Disorder: A type of bipolar disorder characterized by depressive and hypomanic episodes. It involves at least one depressive episode lasting at least two weeks and at least one hypomanic episode lasting at least four days. Depressive symptoms include sadness or hopelessness. Hypomanic symptoms include a persistently elevated or irritable mood. Treatment includes counseling and medications, such as mood stabilizers.If your ready to work with us, or for more information on Being UnNormal check out our website at www.beingunnormal.comFollow us on social media!

Natalie Dale graduated Alpha-Omega-Alpha from the Chicago Medical School in 2016 and began her residency in Neurology at Oregon Health Sciences University. After struggling with Bipolar II Disorder, she decided to leave medicine and focus on her long-time passion: writing. Since then, she has written three novels and several short stories exploring the deeply personal experience of physical and mental illness. She also freelances, writing research essays, fact-checking, and translating academic articles for the layperson. In her spare time, she organizes an elementary school reading program, runs a local writing critique group, and plays violin in a community orchestra. She married her college sweetheart, dotes on her dog and cat, and lives in Hillsboro, Oregon. 1) Natalie, what is your background? My background is pretty mixed. I started out as a music major (violin performance) in college, before switching to a biochemistry major so that I could go to medical school. I took two years off between college and medical school. During that time, I worked in an infectious disease lab at the University of Washington, then I went to New Zealand on a scholarship from Rotary International. In New Zealand, I took classes in Public Health (earning my DPH, or Diploma in Public Health) and gave talks around Australia and New Zealand comparing healthcare systems. Once back in the US, I attended Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and science and graduated with honors before starting my neurology residency at Oregon Health Sciences University. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder less than three months before graduation. I left OHSU in December 2017 due to my struggle with Bipolar II Disorder, and since then have been focusing on writing 2) Natalie, what projects are you working on? What are your goals for those projects? I like to do a lot of things at once. I find that this gives me the flexibility I need since my disease still isn't fully controlled. I write short stories, nonfiction articles, and novels. But the project that is closest to my heart is my second novel, Pathétique. Before I came up with a title, I called it the “Bipolar Violinist” story. It's about Anna Zantic, a 30-year-old professional violinist who has recently landed her dream job with the Portland Philharmonic. But when side effects from her lithium start affecting her ability to read music, she turns to her mother for advice. Her mom – a concert pianist who has never accepted her daughter's illness – convinces Anna to stop taking her meds. As you might expect, things go downhill from there. The book is all about breaking free of stigma, denial, and family expectations. It's about acceptance and finding a way to embrace the changes that Bipolar can force down your throat. I started working on it while I was debating leaving residency. At the time, I was feeling the weight of failure quite keenly. The book started out as a way for me to work through these feelings, to come to some semblance of acceptance. But since it's inception (and I've now gone through more than 30 drafts), it's become a lot more.

Hans Freiwald of the infamous 'The Jerk Practice' sketch group is a hilarious, insightful, kind and delightfully neurotic human being, who I am so grateful to get to call a dear friend. We came up together in the NYC comedy scene, and he was actually one of my roommates during my epic manic episode of 2008. Thus, he was in the epicenter of my wrath. We get into it. He also has been in recovery from alcoholism for a number of years now and has a recent diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder, so we discuss all of that and compare and contrast. Essentially, this episode is two dear friends circling back into each other's lives and checking in with each other in an incredibly fun, honest and heartfelt way.

If you're going to love someone you have to love all of them. It's not fair to them if you don't. Just because you can't see mental illness doesn't mean it's not real. Don't punish us for the fact that you're not able to understand us. Not all women are Bipolar but those of us who are want you to see us for the way we are and not try to change anything about us. The right kind of love makes us want to be better not bitter. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

Depression and anxiety turn up in several mental illnesses. Yet when there's a definite mood cycle -- when one energy level of mood becomes apparent, either a too up or too down, and then another eventually takes it place -- this can earn the diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder if certain criteria are met. I'll talk about what Bipolar II is exactly and relay the stories of two people with Bipolar Disorder, Julie Kraft and Jennifer Marshall, both well-known advocates for talking openly about mental illness. And I'll focus on what are termed "triggers" and how to manage them, so that you learn how to take care of yourself during those times. Our listener email is from a man in South America whose perfectionism drove him to try every new self-help technique out there, leaving him exhausted and confused. Maybe we should call it an addiction -- "self-helpism." His question is very thought-provoking and I hope you'll enjoy and learn from it.

Today's episode is with Augustina Ampofo, a mental health advocate who has been diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder and speaks openly about her experiences with psychosis. During this conversation, we discuss why she became a mental health advocate and our complicated relationship with health-related labels. We also talk about the importance of creativity in her recovery process, specifically, how journaling, art therapy and dancing have been an integral part of her healing journey. Throughout the conversation, we break some misconceived notions about mental illness.

For years Joanna was mis-diagnosed with anxiety and depression and placed on anti-depressant medications that didn’t work for her. After a mental crisis, however, she saw a psychiatrist who diagnosed her with Bipolar II Disorder. “The terror of the diagnosis turned into a gift,” Joanna recounts. She educates listeners about some of the characteristics of Bipolar II such as 1) “mixed features” of hypomania—heightened emotional or energetic state—and depression which present simultaneously, and 2) rapid cycling which is four or more episodes in a year. “It’s easy to ‘pass’ with Bipolar II and the world not know you’re suffering,” she adds. Joanna touches on the difficulties people may face receiving a correct diagnosis due to stigma, gendered bias, and similar symptoms with other mental disorders. For those living with mental illness, Joanna offers numerous suggestions for navigating through the healthcare system and the importance of finding support and trusting your gut.

Living with a mental health challenge of any type, often means that you go through many stages of exploration until you reach a true diagnosis that will allow you and your helping professional to put a plan in place of the proper treatment and self-care routine. Initially these types of changes in our mental health can often lead to having more questions than answers, but in time the new insight gained can be invaluable to our recovery. My guest on this episode of the Beyond Your Past Podcast, John Dickson, lived with Major Depressive Disorder for 40 years, before being officially diagnosed. As he shares on his blog, The3inMe.ga, ...Over the majority of that period, my illness was undiagnosed and untreated. It’s only in hindsight that I can see that I’ve experienced many depressive episodes. Each episode was both darker and longer in duration than its predecessor. The most severe episode culminated in a suicide attempt in September 2014. It was after this attempt that I was diagnosed as having Major Depressive Disorder. More recently I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder. Bipolar II Disorder differs from Bipolar Disorder in having a hypomanic state rather than a manic state. Hypomanic simply means less manic. I’m still coming to terms with this new diagnosis and don’t yet fully understand it. I’ll share what I learn in this blog. Depression is the silent killer. This is true especially, among men. Men remain silent and steadfast while they suffer. I was one of those men. I suffered in silence until I succumbed. This lesson has taught me to speak out about the dangers of silence and in this blog, I speak out. I also have a son and family who I love very much. This blog is for them. Here they can see for themselves that I’m recovering. John and I first met at the HealtheVoices 2018 Conference, in Chicago. We struck up a friendship there and have kept in touch since that event. You can listen to some thoughts that I had about the conference on a special edition podcast that I recorded this past spring.  During the podcast, we cover topics including: Why John is so open about sharing his mental health struggles. More about the events that lead to an attempt in taking his own life in September, 2014. How those events lead him into not only his blog writing but advocacy work. Talking specifically with your therapist or counselor about specific diagnosis treatments and options. How his life has changed since the events in 2014, including the new diagnosis of Bipolar II disorder and learning to understand what it means for him, including the hypomanic states that come along with it. Be sure and check out his blog, The3inMe.ga , as he writes weekly about his journey of understanding and healing, both past and present. John's message is one of vulnerable insight... an expression of hope, a declaration of love and a celebration of a life reclaimed. Ultimately, it’s my letter to my son, my apology and my promise. You can follow John on Twitter @Zelandroid009 If you haven't done so yet, please consider subscribing to the podcast, to get notified when I release new episodes each week! I'd sure be stoked to have you on this journey of inspiring others with the power of sharing their stories. -Matthew Pappas, CLC, CPNLP All conversation and information exchanged during participation the Beyond Your Past Podcast, on BeyondYourPast.com, and BeyondYourPastRadio.com is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Frances R. Armstrong (Franny) is a wife, a mother of three children, and grandparent of four. A published author of paranormal romance, she chose to share her experiences with mental illness, rather than hide in her home and suffer in silence. It's important to her that the stigma of mental illness is removed, so that people will learn about it and not fear it. One in five people is diagnosed with the many forms of mental illness, Frances strives each day to battle the Bipolar II Disorder with her head held high. You can too! For the average person to be well, they would have to fight mental illness using all of the resources available. They are not alone. Consider Franny's book, Striving For Normalcy, as a guide, based on her personal experiences and prepared with those in mind those who suffer in silence or who don't have support systems in their lives. Striving For Normalcy is based on her personal experiences, and references from the internet, and a qualified psychiatrist. It is her hope that people will learn and understand the inner workings of the disease, helping families and friends learn how to live with, not only the person who is ill, but change the way that society deals with those who suffer every day from an illness that rules their bodies and minds.
