I shared a post 3 years ago announcing and ending in my head the stigma I was up against via Facebook. I got a hundrerd likes, pms and posts regarding it. It made me feel like it was the right decision.... to put it out there on social media. I'm not ashamed of it anymore. My head at times makes me stigmatize myself against bipolar. Everyone was so supportive and it really made me thankful for being brave enough. It took me 5 years to open up to people who knew me through school etc that I had a mental health condition. I like to think that I'm breaking down barriers others put in my way.... but I struggle to break my own barriers I put in front of me!
