From people who came through it

  • “Not sure if this helps, but please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I always freeze. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”

    Hunter from Raleigh · been through bipolar disorder
  • “I was right where you are two years ago. For me it was sleep as my early warning sign. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back. Be gentle with yourself.”

  • “Se estás a começar, o meu conselho é: não tentes resolver tudo de uma vez. A dívida e a doença juntas são muita coisa. Fala com alguém de confiança, nem que seja só para não carregares tudo sozinho. E não tenhas vergonha de pedir ajuda especializada. O médico de família não chega. Eu ainda estou a aprender, mas já percebi que esconder a cabeça na areia só piora.”

  • “To whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. I remember sleep as my early warning sign like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces.”
