Living with bipolar disorder has been a rollercoaster of emotions, especially when it comes to manic episodes. There are times when I feel like I’m on top of the world, with endless energy and an unstoppable drive. But then there are times when I feel completely out of control, unable to sleep and constantly racing with thoughts. It’s a constant battle to find balance and stability, but I hold on to hope that things will get better. I’ve learned to recognize my triggers and have found coping mechanisms to help me through the tough times. It’s not easy, but I know I’m not alone in this struggle. I encourage anyone else dealing with bipolar mania to reach out for support and to never give up on finding the right treatment and tools to manage this condition.
