“para quem está a começar com isto: o sono é o primeiro sinal. se começares a dormir menos e a sentir-te cheia de energia, pede ajuda antes de fazeres qualquer coisa. eu não pedi e gastei tudo. não é vergonha nenhuma ter bipolaridade. é uma doença como outra qualquer. toma a medicação, vai às consultas, e arranja uma coisa pequena que te acalme, como tricotar ou ouvir música. não tens de ser perfeita. só tens de continuar.”
“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.”
“I know it feels like too much right now. The hospital, the debt, the shame. But you're not the only one. I've been there, and I'm still here. Take it one small step at a time. Get help with the money if you can. Talk to someone. And be kind to yourself. I know it's a cliché, but it's true. You can get through this.”
“Dear stranger, nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. I remember sleep as my early warning sign like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.”
