Hi, I'm Katie. I live with #Bipolar disorder. I'm passionate about #mentalhealth and am all about thriving beyond my diagnosis. Check out my blog:

This week I was invited to present to the student body at KGMPA about treating mental illness & balancing / management. Thanks for having me Maeser! #mentalhealth #mentalillness https://t.co/wXfEse7wai

Some insights into #bipolar disorder. This series may or may not have been written while I was slightly manic. Ha. >> https://t.co/0rV1Q9Wt0w

@TheWeInMe @TheWeInMe That is so cool!

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

@TheWeInMe Seriously? That is so cool! I wish I were there and could come, I would totally attend!! Are you organizing it in partnership with a community organization?

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

I'd like to see more events in my community that give people opportunities to understand mental illness. I'd love to see evening presentations, workshops at colleges. What have you seen organized in the community that has worked? #mentalhealth #bipolar #stigmafree #endthestigma

Got my safeTALK suicide prevention trained certificate from AFSP last week! It has been 3-4 years since I've attended suicide awareness specific events. It was a good refresher. #suicideawareness #mentalhealth #holdontohope

This was the quote on my sister's hospital room wall the week she was diagnosed with leukemia last year. #challenges #leukemia #sophiestrong

Maggie Reese (@RunawayMindBook) has a new book out! When I was diagnosed in 2013 I found Maggie online and hearing her story gave me hope that I could live successfully with bipolar. #mentalhealth #bipolar #endthestigma #keeptalkingMH Check it out: https://t.co/9q7DtFpICU

"You are so brave and quiet, I forget you are suffering." - Ernest Hemingway @TheSarahFader @MelodyMoezzi @keithdoneil @favorhamilton

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

@electroboyusa @gabehoward29 That would definitely wake people up I think!

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

@sweetthangnikki Glad to connect! #KeepTalkingMH

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

The first step to breaking down stigmas is to be willing to open up and share. Give others a chance to be understanding. #KeepTalkingMH

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

Spent a couple of hours with some friends handing out bubble wrap and #mentalhealth resources on a college campus. Hope it helps someone!

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]

Neurologist recommends I let myself be happy ...going to try to let myself feel that excitement without worrying about mania onset! #bipolar

[Katie Wilkie @thrivingbeyond]
