Drawing Back the Curtain

Self-Regard

This episode serves as a recap of what this show is all about, an introduction to what’s head, and a vulnerable share of the mental health disorder I struggle with.

Notable Quotes:

"Ultimately, whatever is in your reality is your responsibility." -Nisandeh Neta

"You do not have to be a fire for every mountain blocking you. You could be a water and soft river your way to freedom too." -Nayyirah Weed

Truths to Remember:

Your perspective determines your reality.

Authenticity comes down to integrity, responsibility, and alignment.

Mental health is the health of the mind. Everyone has it.

Bipolar II is characterized by two poles: hypomania and depression. Hypomania is marked by elation and hyperactivity.

Though bravery is a bridge to the other side of fear, it does not mean the fear goes away. And it is not a badge of honor. You do not have to be brave. You do not have to be certain. You do not have to share. There is no obligation. This is only my choice, my authenticity. It does not have to be yours.
