A Year in a Life: My Journey with Bipolar

My names Nicole Ledgerwood I was 19 years old when I was first diagnosed, but was suffering for several year prior. This is my daily journal about my feelings and a way to hope to fully figure out what my triggers are and hope to help several people in the world who have this disorder as well.

Bipolar disorder is a very common disorder with nearly 3 million cases in the US. It can't be cured, but they're medications that can help stabilize your mood.

The way I see it is when your bipolar is when you're overly happy,energetic, talkative, and you feel like you're on top of the world that's your high point. Then there's your low point... Feeling hopeless, worthless, depressed, irritability, and fatigue. There's no in between you're stuck in a constant battle with yourself trying to stay level.

This is my journey trying to find that balance.
