Apply what resonates, throw away what doesn't. Only you can build you, develop your own perceptions and mindset. That which governs the way you feel. So stand guard at the doorway to your mind. @RIDINGBIPOLAR

The answer to the question "What would | say to myself 13 years ago?” When | had my first major episode. Summarising the best of what I've learnt from various sources. | was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1. Meaning | experience psychosis and mania. er TTT

really cool to have a platform for us to discuss all things Bipolar. So £50k of web development later, it's almost ready & It has a mood journal (inc sharing with members), forums, IG style posts, Apple music, Spotify playlists, podcasts and the course itself. er TTT

Give me a follow if you would. That way you'll know as soon as they're ready for you. I'd greatly appreciate the encouragement too J. I'm genuinely hoping that this project isn't my latest grandiose idea. er TT

Bipolar life experience, becomes our EXPERIENCE. Ts PO eo

what you can't do, will only serve to exhaust your energy and prolong recovery. This is a mental illness that can impair our mental abilities. It's not your fault if you can't get as much done as normal. Treat yourself like someone you love and care about. With kindness. @ridingbipolar www.ridingbipolar.com

psycho educational courses, is the people you meet. The discussions that are had during the breaks of a course. Those discussions can help more than the course itself. Realising first hand that other people are experiencing the same thing. or TTT

building us a platform. Over £45k of web development hours has been invested. There are forums, Spotify and Apple playlists, posts, podcasts, books, chat... Also a mood journal. My hope is that together we can create a powerful resource for the generations that follow. er TTT
