My Brains Not Broken

JANUARY 24, 2023

Life has its ups and downs, and mental health is no different. There are times when I feel like my mental wellness is in the best place it’s ever been. Other times…not so much.

Blurt It Out

I focus on good advice for bipolar disorder here, but whoah boy, have I also received some of the worst advice for bipolar disorder you can imagine. This advice has come from loved ones, natural medicine practitioners, and even a psychiatrist. However, just because the advice comes from someone you respect doesn't mean it's good advice. Here is some of the worst advice for bipolar I've ever received.

A blog from businessman, foster carer and our trustee Sir John Timpson, first written for the Telegraph, on his optimistic message for 2023. No one is foolish enough to ride into 2023 on a bandwagon of optimism, times are going to be tough.
