Mental Health Diagnostics Bipolar

Hey you wonderful truth seekers ✨

I was given a diagnosis (bipolar disorder) in 2020, when I thought to have had my awakening and felt a unity with the universe and all living beings. I ended up in a psyche ward and have been medicated since. I have tapered them off slowly a few times only to land in a depression or manic episode in which I, again, experienced awakening moments, only to end up in hospitalization yet again. I know for sure I am not crazy. I know that this “manic” feeling was an unfiltered sensation of knowing, as it felt so peaceful and purposeful, full of love and community, joy and being. I am not willing to be told I am mad and have to medicate for the rest of my life, but how am I supposed to find my purpose in Western society when the system constantly tells me I am the problem. Moving away is currently not an option.

I don’t need wise advice from anyone telling me to do breath work or meditate, eat healthily and do yoga - I know that and do these, yes, they are fantastic tools and so helpful. But right now I need inspiration and hopefully a community of people who have experienced similar struggles themselves or within their inner circle. Maybe even mind “doctors”, “psychiatrists”, that can give advice.

Thank you so much ✨
