I outed myself on Facebook and I feel so empowered!!
Here's what I wrote:

I have to share with you, my peoples. I used to be ashamed...not anymore. I share a lot of articles about mental health and especially bipolar. It's because I care. It's because I understand from personal experience. It's because have ridden the dangerous roller coaster that is bipolar. I've had the panic attacks of panic disorder and I have had the flashbacks and things that accompany PTSD.

I used to be ashamed. No more. I am about to start volunteering for Local mental health center in their day program. In the new year, I will be attending training to become a Peer Support Specialist. It's something I am both excited for and passionate about. I want to encourage and support other people going through the hard times like I do. So many great people have been there for me in my life and I want to be that for others.

I used to be ashamed. No more.

My story isn't over yet!
