Kintsugi Support

The first author of the paper, Shebani Sethi, MD, says there is increasing evidence that psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder stem from metabolic deficits in the brain, which affect the excitability of neurons.

Hai warriors! Leave an emoji in the comments if you see this post.

I just wanted to hop on here being that it is World Bipolar Day to let anyone who's feeling like they're all alone in it know that they're not. My name is Melvis & I live with Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterised by periods of extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. I've lived with it for 11 years and for most of that I felt out of place & alone. The minute I found out what this illness meant I took it upon myself to advocate for the same, to educate, to raise awareness, eliminate stigma... and even then, I knew how important it was to stress that You Are Not Alone. It is my slogan, Kintsugi Support; You are Not Alone.

I know how scary & isolating this illness is... how misunderstood you can feel... but believe me when I say; you got this. Learn as much as you can, don't be afraid to ask questions... you are strong enough to take this on. Do not be ashamed to seek help. I know it's sometimes hard, but please be encouraged... seek help when you need it. You can lead your version of a normal life after treatment. Bipolar disorder is treatable.

It's not been easy, but I'm living a normal life, or at least my version of it. Loving myself through it. 💋
