This is a reminder that with the right treatment, you can successfully manage bipolar disorder. It took me years to discover the right tools and strategies for my situation, but it is worth it. What strategies and tools do you use to manage bipolar disorder each day?

In general, if someone is given fully informed consent, decides to go ahead with the treatment/intervention, but then later regrets it…

That’s not the fault of the medical or healthcare system.

Sure people who regret should be supported however possible, but there is no blame.

Kindness goes a long way. I choose to fill my space with love, compassion, and acceptance.

It's not about striving for perfection.
It's about striving for improvement - to better yourself each day.

I'm on my fourth program in Arnold's new app!! I've never had such an interactive app that I can't wait to open each day. I'm one of the founding lifetime members and I cannot recommend it enough!! Reps, reps, reps!!

Who likes to work out? I love lifting weights and it's one of my main coping strategies to manage each day.

I love this!

Oh man!! Look at what my good buddy Tucker Booth is up to!! ☺️❤️💪

I am a warrior not because I always win, but because I will always fight the bipolar battle! 💪

Do not feel ashamed that you have bipolar disorder.
Do not feel ashamed about your story.
Do not feel ashamed of who you are.
I see you.
I empathize with you.
I am rooting for you with all my might and heart!

Hey warrior.
Keep going.

I don't know about you, but I've fallen more times than I can count. Each time, I get back up. I am here today because I've learned how to cope with the adversity in my life. It took a long time to learn!

For many people, a diagnosis gives an explanation, meaning, an identity, a name for how they’re feeling or who they are, and an avenue for hope and self-acceptance.

If *you* disagree with diagnoses, that’s *your* choice for *your* life.

Don’t project that onto others.

This is the battle that wages inside my mind during a manic episode...

The stigma associated with bipolar disorder is real. Help me to raise awareness so we can bring down this wall and fight all the misconceptions. Remember, your lived experience is valid and no one can take that away from you! Don't let someone else tell you otherwise.

You are not alone!! There is a whole supportive community on here and please know that my DM is always open. You don't have to fight this #bipolarbattle alone!
