Bipolar Self-Care during ICE Protests in Minnesota | How To Help Or Take Care of Yourself

Описание: For this OUR BIPOLAR VOICES episode, Jess Curtis sits down with Lee Formella, a Twin Cities resident who has bipolar 2.

Lee shares his firsthand experience of the ICE presence and protests in Minneapolis–St. Paul and practical ways people can help, especially those within the bipolar community. Whether you live with bipolar disorder or not, this discussion explores how these events impact community safety, mental health, and mental illness.

Lee and Jess also talk about meaningful actions we can take to support Minnesota and the rest of the country after ensuring that your own well-being is your top priority.

His bio:
After 15+ years of blackouts, gambling, and suicidal thoughts, I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, and cPTSD. This allows me to share about finding resilience and stability through skills, self-care, self-control, community, and determination.
