I want to share some of the ways I manage my bipolar 2 disorder.

When I received a diagnosis of bipolar 2 disorder, no pamphlet listed out the perfect way to maintain my mental health. Those of us with bipolar may live with the same condition, but we define happiness and stability in different ways. That is okay! It is great to have diverse methods of coping.

The two rules I live by when it comes to managing my mental health are:

1. I will not put pressure on myself to be perfect.
2. I will not feel guilty for making mistakes.

These two rules have helped me develop ways of managing my bipolar 2 disorder. However, I’m sure my methods will change as I get older, confront new challenges and take on new life experiences.

What are a couple of ways you manage your bipolar 2 disorder? Share your advice, experience or general thoughts below in the comment section. Also, you can do a response video and send it in to info@ healthyplace.com. Thanks! Hannah
