Our Bipolar (Jess Kanotz)

Hi, I'm Jess. At Our Bipolar, I blog and tell stories about how bipolar has shaped my life in hopes of reducing the stigma of mental illness.

[Our Bipolar (Jess Kanotz) @OurBipolar]

Ever wonder what it’s like to live with a serious mental illness—and have a family, a career, and a social life?

My new blog, Our Bipolar (https://t.co/Embs9AifCm), takes a deep dive into my life with bipolar—the ups, the downs, and the wonderfully ordinary in-betweens.

@NinjaOfSyrinx Thank you! I know what you mean. I hope you feel better soon.

NEW VLOG: My last full-blown manic episode: https://t.co/aS8svzih8l

Get a sense of what mania in bipolar I is like. If you already know, you are amazing and strong.

Mania is what makes us bipolar--it's what sets bipolar apart.

@Mal47C Yes! I was nodding my head and mentally high-fiving Lauren as I read that part!

NEW POST! It’s a guest post from Lauren Sheu of Running for Wellness!

Lauren so wisely states that “the thing that finally made a difference to help me as a support person was to get support myself.”

NEW POST! About our destination wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica: https://t.co/TZlwT8Xi8N

No one knew that my bipolar was the reason we had a destination wedding. Back then, most people were unaware that I had a mental illness.

@BipolarActually Just seeing this. My best advice is to contact your doctor immediately if you haven’t already.

[Our Bipolar (Jess Kanotz) @OurBipolar]

@httpborder Insomnia for sure

Anyone else stuck in time change hell today? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Time changes are hard on everyone, but those of us with bipolar really take a hit.

I went to bed at my usual time but slept horribly.

Now I have to be careful or I could go into mania.

This weeks mental health tip:

When people you love are having problems with their mental health, you do not need to know exactly how to help them. Simply being there for them & listening without judgement will go a long way.

NEW VLOG! It's about the time I had to quit my job because of bipolar.

I stopped taking all of my meds, and I did really well...until I didn’t.

I needed to quit my job and put my life back together.

I love that my Covid and forevermore wardrobe truly goes from day to night. Meaning from preschool drop off to bedtime and back again.

@AmandaM10980750 @BipolarClubDx @ItsBryanCurtis Thank you! I was lucky to find the right person for me. Therapy when needed has also helped tremendously and needs to be normalized.

I’m sick of being miserable. Can the healing begin? Oh wait, this miserable shit is the healing. 🤔

Today's post is short and sweet and also sad: celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in the midst of me dealing with past trauma.
