Finding balance with bipolar and ADHD in relationships

As a 34-year-old woman dealing with bipolar disorder and ADHD, I understand the challenges that come with managing these conditions while also navigating relationships. It can be overwhelming at times, but I have learned that finding balance is possible. Communication is key - being open and honest with my partner about my struggles has allowed us to work through challenges together. Seeking therapy and medication management has also been crucial in helping me manage my symptoms and maintain a healthy relationship. It’s important to remember that I am not defined by my mental health conditions, and that I am worthy of love and understanding. It’s a work in progress, but I am grateful for the support and resources available to me as I continue on this path towards finding balance and happiness in my relationships.
