I thought I was, you know, invincible, I thought I was somehow tapped into this spiritual realm.
Ever wondered what it's like to manage a mental health condition while living life on the road? In this episode of 'All In The Mind', ARIA-nominated musician Parvyn opens up about her journey with bipolar disorder. From delusions and mania to moments of psychosis, Parvyn has faced it all, often while performing and touring. But she didn't let these experiences define her; instead, she channeled them into her debut solo album 'Sa'.
This episode marks the first time Parvyn publicly discusses her mental health, offering a raw and honest look at her struggles and triumphs. Parvyn also dives into how her spiritual upbringing initially fueled her delusions of grandeur, complicating her understanding of reality. Touring only added to the chaos, making it harder for her to find stability. Yet, through music, she found a way to process her experiences and eventually come to terms with her diagnosis.
Her story is not just about personal struggle but also about the broader issue of mental health stigma, especially within immigrant communities. Parvyn’s journey underscores the healing power of music and the importance of acceptance and understanding. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in mental health, music, or both. It offers a unique perspective on how creative expression can serve as a form of therapy and a means to break down barriers.
Tune in to hear Parvyn’s inspiring story and gain insight into the challenges and triumphs of living with bipolar disorder.
