What's Going on With Feeling Behind Because of Your Mental Health
<p>Welcome back to my podcast! It’s been a while since the last episode, but don’t worry, this one was worth the wait! </p> <p>A common theme I’ve experienced throughout my mental health journey, and just with life in general, is feeling behind. It’s so frustrating to feel like you could be doing more, or feel like everyone else is able to do more than you because of your mental illnesses. Comparison is the thief of joy, but it’s so difficult to stop comparing yourself when you feel so behind in life. </p> <p>In this episode, I discuss feeling behind in life because of my mental illnesses, and the various treatments and therapies I have been through to help myself heal. Come with me, as I share what life is like for me, and why I feel so behind in a race that doesn’t exist. Life isn’t a “one-size fits all” journey, and learning to adjust to new paths is something I’m working on every day. We can do this, one day at a time. </p> <p> </p> <p>Potential triggers*</p> <p>Broken Bones</p> <p>Eating Disorder Treatment Program</p> <p>Therapy</p> <p>Panic Attacks</p> <p>Depression</p> <p>Bipolar II</p> <p>Medication (not by name)</p> <p>Residential Treatment</p> <p>Suicidality</p> <p>Anorexia Symptoms/Treatment</p> <p>Anxiety</p> <p>Social Media/Comparison</p> <p>*this list is made up of what I believe might be triggering to someone, but it may not be a complete list, feel free to check the show transcription for your personal triggers before listening :)</p> <p> </p>

Taking a Journey Through My Journeys With Bipolar II
<p>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. </p> <p> </p> <p>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! </p> <p> </p> <p>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). </p> <p> </p> <p>Potential triggers*</p> <p>Bipolar disorder</p> <p>Depression</p> <p>Eating Disorders</p> <p>Unstable/dysregulated moods</p> <p>Medication (not by name)</p> <p>Medication side effect/allergic reaction</p> <p>Planes/flights</p> <p>Depression</p> <p>Suicide</p> <p>Hospitalization </p> <p>Residential Treatment</p> <p> </p> <p>*This list is made up of what I believe might be triggering to someone, but it may not be a complete list, feel free to check the show transcription for your personal triggers before listening :)</p>
