Thank you for listening to my journey of accepting and embasing the label and stigma of Bi Polar Disorder. This video is really hard for me to post, but I feel like if I can help anyone else who going through the acceptance of this diagnosis, just one person even, then my courage to post will be well worth it. I want to encourage anyone reading this who suffers with a mental disorder to read up on it so that you understand the illness and yourself better. It will save you so much time and heartache if you do! I wish I had embraced it sooner, but everything I went theough led me to who I am today. I also want to encourage anyone who has a loved one in their lives who suffers mentally to read up on their condition as well, because we all need a good support system and people who understand what we go through. People need to be understood more than anything. Just like cancer, no one asks for this - its a chemical imbalance and it just happens. For me, it happened after the birth of my son in 2010. I say this wirh absolute certainty - I WOULD NOT BE WHO I AM TODAY WITHOUT GOD!!! His grace and loving mercy each day sustains me amd renews my strength to carry on. If you are in the pit, call on his name - His word states that He is near the brokenhearted and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that is the absolute TRUTH. He uses each and everything we go through for our good, its just hard to see what His purpose is at times, but I promise you He has a purpose and a plan for you always. Finally, I just want to say that until we end the stigma of mental health, we will all continue to suffer. 1 in 3 people have a mental health condition, that stat is mindblowing to me! Love one another and most importantly love yourself! Thank you for reading and thank you for watching. Be blessed! Leigh Ann "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28
