I think it's some type of chemical imbalance in my brain. For some reason, bipolar coming out of my mouth versus depression coming out of my mouth sounds much different, and I have a lot more judgment about being somebody who struggles with bipolar.
Ever wondered what it's like to live with bipolar disorder? Michael Stoller is here to give you a candid look. In this episode of 'My Blueprint: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety', Michael dives deep into his personal experiences with both depression and bipolar disorder. While he's been open about his battle with depression, talking about bipolar disorder has been much tougher for him.
Michael describes the cyclical nature of his bipolar disorder, with manic episodes popping up two to four times a year. During these manic phases, he feels invincible, productive, and on top of the world. But there's a catch—he often can't see when he's crossed the line into unhealthy behavior. Excessive spending, lack of sleep, and juggling multiple projects are just a few signs of his mania. Once the high fades, he's left grappling with shame and regret.
Despite these challenges, Michael has found solace in gratitude and radical acceptance. He keeps a gratitude journal and meditates on the small things that bring him joy. Working with a therapist, he's learning to accept that bipolar disorder is a part of him and that he can't control it. By sharing his story, Michael hopes to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage others to seek help when they need it.
