I Disclosed My Bipolar Disorder on Facebook

Talking about bipolar disorder to family and friends is a process that requires patience. It’s a topic that is rarely discussed within families, and not your typical dinner conversation. However, I believe that if those closest to us can absorb knowledge about bipolar disorder in a way that's comfortable for them, it makes discussing it easier for everyone.

Talking about a bipolar disorder diagnosis with those closest to you though is not an easy task. We fear judgment and rejection from our family and friends. So how do we do it? In this video, I share three ways to talk about bipolar to family and friends.
1. Sparking their curiosity
2. Potentially getting a licensed counselor involved as a medium
3. Asking them questions about the way in which our diagnosis may affect them

These are all great ways to get the conversation going.

Do you talk to your family or close friends about bipolar? If so, how did you approach it? Please share your thoughts or do a response video and send it into [email protected]. See you next week!
