Coping with mental health and the two biggest mental health struggles

For me mental health has been a tough battel for me. I have looked for many avenues to get a better grasp on my mental health. Some have been incredibly beneficial while others not so much. The concept and idea of therapy works for me, but unfortunately, I has a therapist right now that devalues my struggle and tells me that I have no mental illness and don’t need medications. Two of the things that have been most beneficial to me were creating my blog, bipolartater.com and creating YouTube videos to share my story. While they have not always been well received, read, or watched, it has been a way for me to get what is on my mind off my mind and into digital form. Lately, I have been slipping substantially and teetering on the edge of crisis. So, I decided to tell my story with my narrative about the huge mental health struggles that have truly impacted my mental health. Some people have been negative because of my voice which is not my fault as I need nasal surgery. But I just wanted to get my story out there as the media has decided to write their version of my story with no knowledge of me. So, if you want, please check it out. https://youtu.be/MeUrXHmYJ5k
