It really is something to deal with. I didn't know how bad I was really messed up until I really sat down to myself and really understood what I was going through, what I had been going through and trying just to figure it all out.
Imagine grappling with constant feelings of depression and anxiety, yet never knowing why. That's the reality Jon Smith faced for years until a diagnosis of bipolar 2 disorder finally provided some clarity. In this episode of 'Addiction, Mental Health, Chronic Pain,' Jon opens up about his journey, revealing how this diagnosis was both a relief and a new challenge.
He shares candidly about the toll bipolar 2 took on his professional life, leading to multiple job losses and a constant struggle to keep up with daily demands.

By detailing his own coping strategies and management plans, Jon offers valuable insights for anyone facing similar battles. His honesty and resilience shine through, making this episode a must-listen for those seeking understanding and encouragement in their mental health journey.
