I think that finding a good Therapist so important.

I struggled ( and still do at times) trying to understand that my illness isn’t ALL of me.

When we are not stable and everything is a struggle we blame Bipolar or X diagnosis . It’s natural to do so.

But we aren’t always just “Bipolar” we eat , sleep, work, do chores, talk to family and friends etc etc etc.

We are just people going about life.

A good Therapist can help us realize we are not just our diagnosis.
