| Introduction | Hi guys! My name is Allie, I'm 18 and from Chicago's northern suburbs. I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 3 years ago after I got sober off of a 2 year drug addiction. Since being diagnosed, I've become more aware of why I struggle with seemly easy tasks. What my triggers are, how my environment plays a factor in my cycles, what medications work & which ones definitely don't. Being aware was the first hurdle to jump, now I focus on the how. How to avoid triggering myself. How I deal with being triggered. Just how medications work & what questions to ask about them. How external stimuli affects me & my cycles. Which is why I am here with all of you! Is to share my struggles, accomplishments, and tips around what I've learned about myself & what helps! Remember: Take it One Day At A Time |
