Taking a Journey Through My Journeys With Bipolar II

Welcome Back! It’s your favorite podcast featuring new cover art!!! Ooooo Ahhhh! Don’t worry, George is still on there. This week it’s episode 5, and I had to switch up the title to fit with my thoughts. Join me on a journey through the journeys I’ve taken since being diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in 2022. 

 

Having a mental illness is difficult, especially one that relies on low stress and stability. So, naturally, travel will be difficult. But I love to travel. I love it! 

 

In this episode you get to come along on a journey (I’m really loving that word today) through 3 journeys (ok, maybe this is too much) or as they would better be described, trips/vacations, after I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder. Come see what it was like for me to travel so early into learning what it was like to have this disorder. And I’ll even tell you what I learned from my 3 treacherous journeys (haha good word choice).
