I am bipolar strong. I don't let a mental illness stop me from living and thriving. My diagnosis has changed me for the better, and now I want to raise awareness on mental health and share my story.
How do I do this? I sent a message to my 7th grade science teacher I still visit if she would like me to make a presentation on bipolar disorder. My science teacher does more than just teach science, she was my sex ed educator and I know she has covered topics on different health issues. I am also considering talking to my high school life skills teacher about it too. That would be a good start to get my feet wet with public speaking. Of course, I'll cover my own personal experience, but what would you want people to know about bipolar disorder and mental health in general? What are some topics should I cover? |

Wow good for you! (I just wish I was that proud lol) I've always wanted to work In helping others that suffer from what I've been through from BP to ED to addiction. I think a great thing to bring up would be the stigma around it. I think what people lack are knowledge and understanding and are too quick to call us "crazy". Let people know it is treatable and we are human too. Show them how great you're doing with it! If I had a chance (or guts) to do what you're doing I would just want people to know we aren't freaks, we just have a MI that some (or most) need meds for. Just like a diabetic takes meds, well so do some of us. Great thing you're doing and please let us know how it goes!

I would emphasise how it is pretty much "just" that we are free spirits even though we want to fit in, and how we are not so much "ill", but just in some ways so different that it is difficult to endure, but also very normal but just more intensely so, and that we are a people that just care too much and sometimes not enough, but not for lack of trying: few try as hard as we do.
Does that make any sense? Great you're doing this! Really great.  Keep fighting the good fight!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
