this is bipolar | 01 GROWING UP - breakdowns & breakups

Published 2020-05-03
In this very first episode of 'this is bipolar', mental health advocates Shaley Hoogendoorn and Julie Kraft introduce themselves and reveal the passion and purpose behind their show. They then dive head first into their pasts- sharing their experiences as children, teens, and young adults (embarrassing photos included!) Were there any signs that set them apart? Any symptoms that foreshadowed their decades-later bipolar diagnoses? Nothing is off limits as they both share about emotional reactions, big heartbreaks, and defining moments. Unfiltered and authentic. This is bipolar...

    Iโ€™m looking forward to see where this channel goes, mainly do to aspects of relatability but also because of the lack of โ€œcontentโ€ that covers Bipolar disorder. I wish you guys the best of luck and stay safe during these times.

    Recently diagnosed Bipolar 1, 1 month now. Your podcast was one of the very first I listened to after diagnosis. Sharing your lived experiences helped me accept the diagnosis. It is so nice to put faces to the voices. Thank you for being here.
  • So good to see & hear relatable situations. I hope you have another video soon. Thank you.
