Even though I have managed to overcome bipolar 2 and in so doing demonstrating how limited the thinking that conventional mental health providers have I know what it’s like to struggle with not being heard by one’s psychiatrist because of the label given, being so overmedicated I couldn’t do the simplest of things, and having others tell me that I have this problem when they have no idea what it is that they are talking about, even if they do mean well. It is all very dehumanizing, to say the least. Years ago, bipolar illness consumed my life. My life was one of going from one mental health appointment to the next as my peers were getting married, buying homes, and having kids. I know what it’s like to wake up and feeling so depressed believing that my life didn’t matter, unable to do the ‘normal’ things people of my age were doing. And to lay down at night thinking about how unfair this all was, to have my life be so limited in many ways. I was on so much medication it was impossible for me to have a normal job, so sedated it was just impossible. It got so bad that one day I was standing just inside a massive grocery store with thousands of items and I couldn’t figure out what to purchase for dinner that night. I am a damn good cook, so this was a low point demonstrating how my mind was unable to function. So, I know how painful it can be. And, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it. To have a life now without the need of any medications, and no longer being ‘married’ to a psychiatrist. To be able to have stable moods and be able to function at very high levels and to have a life where I wake up to the sunshine out my window, while being able to look out on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, living exactly where I want to live (and I go to bed at night thinking about all the great young people that I get to work with, so they too can live their heart’s desire, regardless of any mental health labels they may have been given.
The best part is that I have the freedom to live life according to my own desires, bringing in income doing that which I love to do, being a witness to so many young adults shed the tyranny of trauma and misdiagnoses to live incredibly contented and productive lives based on their heart’s desire. And, I want this kind of life for everyone! That’s why I do the work that I do. And, even though there’s a part of me that thinks I’m sharing too much about my life’s work this week (as I shared earlier, I’m in a 5-Day challenge…) my deeper truth is that I care way too much about helping our youth get authority over their lives back to let that fear stop me. Because I know how painful it can be when you have been told that you have a mental illness that will always need to be ‘managed’ and never fully healed (which is a crock of crap so far as I am concerned given my personal experiences and the 95% of cases based on my 19 years in practice. And, I have dedicated myself to helping LOTS of young adults get rid of the emotional traumas and instead live contented happy, ‘normal’ lives. If you, or anyone you know, struggles with emotional issues, especially if they are a young adult, please drop a gif below or PM me, I would love to offer you a free Chaos to Clarity Discovery Call so that I can help you start moving toward being free of your emotional traumas including those that the conventional mental health professionals may have contributed, even with their great intentions. Life is too short to spend it struggling with these emotional issues when over 95% of the time they can be healed and over with allowing you to live a contented and productive life doing those things that are meaningful to you. I’d be honored to support you (or someone you care about).
