Riding Bipolar
“Ugh, I hope it’s not a wedding invitation,” I thought.
I opened the envelope with my heart clenched in anxiety, already imagining the excuses I would make to get out of attending yet another wedding. Then the most wonderful thing came out of the envelope.
“We know this is a difficult season for you,” the card read. “We’re thinking of you and here for you.”
One of my friends and her husband signed it. They didn’t know I was struggling. They simply remembered that spring was a tough time of year for me and thought they’d reach out. Their kindness touched me deeply.
The smallest act of kindness can mean so much, especially to someone who is struggling. If you know someone who is going through a tough time, reach out to them and let them know you care. It might just be the bright spot they need in their day.
There are so many things we can do to brighten someone’s day. Send a text, make a call, or simply offer a smile. Kindness will touch them even on dark days.
I reached out and thanked my friends for their card. In the chaos raging in my head, their card helped me slow down and connect with the real world for a moment. It reminded me that people love me and that I’m not fighting this battle alone.
If you’re struggling with bipolar disorder, please know that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help. Reach out to a friend, family member, therapist, or any other support system. And if you don’t have anyone to reach out to, please comment below, and I will be here for you. You are not alone.
The smallest act of kindness can make a world of difference. So go out and spread some love today!
Until next time, keep fighting.
