creating an online course about riding bipolar. After my first major episode, | felt so lost and unable to articulate what | was going through. | just had nothing to go on.

If you would, give me a follow. That way you'll know as soon as It's ready. | would really appreciate the encouragement. | hope this isn't some grandiose idea that I've got carried away with @ Likes and shares would be good too. er TTT

Getting going again when coming out of a depressive episode is really really difficult. It takes everything I have tbh.

I tend to start with anything that feels doable. Trusting that one action gives me a little energy. A sense of achievement and that releases feel good chemicals in my brain. That can give me what I need for the next task.

Each action acts like a springboard to more action for me.

Eventually I'm in full motion again. Well until the next swing at least. Nature of the beast and all that.

---------------------

I'm really excited about the platform and course. I've been pencilling out the course and working on the platform since lockdown.

I had to learn and implement strategies and techniques to ride this illness. Like, a lot of them. Daily.

The course will contain everything I've found of help since my first major episode. I'm type 1 btw.

I hope everyone likes it and this isn't just a grandiose idea of mine. (It's possible 🙈)

Give me a follow if you're interested.
