The chains holding me in one spot, as I helplessly watch my own being self destruct, can only be broken when I am fully aware and cognizant in my own life.
Bipolar Life-Desirable Weakness
Many who have remained hidden somewhere in the background. Fear stomping her fight. Shame draping over his shoulders like a heavy stone cape. The burden, effortlessly, weighing her down.
Bipolar Life-Unwanted Time
He is there in your regrets. He is there in your shame. He is there in all the dirty of your life.
Bipolar Life-The Me They Don’t Know
I have bipolar disorder. I am chaos at best, and a wrecking ball of UPS and DOWNS at my worst.
Bipolar Life-Step Away
Without this very intimate relationship we share, I'd be crying in a bowl of Cheerios, feeling like a failure today.
Bipolar Life-Staying in the Closet
In my mind, I was hiding in a dark closet that Jesus would never step in. When I say these words aloud, I imagine there are many people with issues I am unaware of, sitting in a closet somewhere, thinking Jesus would never enter, too.
Bipolar Life-A Bridge to the Other Side
What I found through this intentional journey was that I wasn't building a bridge to close the gap, but I was building a bridge to the other side, away from the fear, the chaos. And when I crossed that bridge- I burned it down!
Bipolar Life-My Darkest Place
It didn't take long before the mania and depression collided, leaving me in one of the worst states I'd ever experienced. Locked behind doors of a mental hospital, I never felt more alone.
Bipolar Life-Hidden Scars
No one knew these scars existed. Like every other part of my life, I hid them well.
Bipolar Life-Reflections that Lie
In one night, one moment, the reflection in the mirror was lying. Because while it was my face, my hair, and my body, it was never me.
