Hey, guys. How's it going?
Great. How are you?
Not too bad. I've got bipolar 1. I was diagnosed when I was 19, so I'm 24 now. And, you know, I've been on my meds, been in therapy for five years the whole time, and then just kind of crashed this last couple months. I went into a full-blown manic episode for about eight weeks. racked up $20,000 in debt and blew through my savings. That was almost $20,000.
And I'm financially not in the best situation right now. I make $104,000 right now. I quit my job when the manic episode happened and luckily caught a new one that I started in October. So I'm just a little lost and
scared of myself if i'm being honest yeah that's it right you're you're well number one can i just tell you i'm proud of you thank you that's gonna sound bananas but you you had you've had one blowout in five years yeah i mean i've dealt with manic and depressive episodes in that time but nothing to this to this degree but that tells me you've been working real hard
That means you've been taking your meds even when you don't want to. That means you've been going to counseling even when you don't want to. That means you've been putting the work in. I'm proud of you. That's hard.
Thank you.
