As a 36-year-old man dealing with bipolar disorder and the onset of menopause, I have found it to be quite a challenging experience. The fluctuating hormones and mood swings can really take a toll on my mental health. However, I have also found strength in knowing that I am not alone in this. Seeking support from my therapist and participating in support groups has been incredibly helpful. It’s important to remember that it’s okay to not be okay all the time, and to give ourselves grace during these tough moments. I encourage others going through a similar experience to reach out for support and know that it is possible to find stability and peace amidst the challenges of bipolar and menopause.
