Hi, my name is Michelle. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder with psychotic features since December of 1999. I have been truly blessed as I journey on in my recovery, meeting so many positive people (including psychiatrists, case workers, peers, and mental health professionals among others). Despite a huge manic/psychotic episode in 2013, I've decided to take that relapse and learn how to tweak my own game plan as I approach mental health and self-acceptance. 2014 has been good to me, and I'm so glad I found this forum.
