[TRIGGER WARNING: Mental Health, Violence, and Suicidal Ideation]

Recorded 09/08/2021 with Zach Robison

*deep breath*
I am bipolar. I had a breakdown and was diagnosed in fall 2007. I had another severe breakdown in spring 2008 and I was hospitalized. My close friend Zach Robison was there for the second breakdown. In this episode we tell the story of those chaotic nights and the aftermath. We talk about my slow and messy path to stability.

This one is heavy and will not be for everyone but it is a part of my story so I wanted to tell it.

It is okay to get help, no matter how mild or severe the issues are.
Help looks different to different people and that is okay.
Help can feel uncomfortable at first and that is okay.
Sometimes the process is messy and that’s okay too
