Скачать или смотреть Ella's Experience Living With Bipolar Disorder

batyr storyteller Ella lives with Bipolar Disorder, a complex mental ill-health condition that’s often misunderstood. There are different types of bipolar disorder, including bipolar I, bipolar II and cyclothymic disorder, and everyone’s experience is unique.

We caught up with Ella to hear about her personal experience with bipolar and how she navigates life with the condition.

“For me, managing bipolar is about 80% medication and 20% lifestyle. Finding the right medications was the biggest game-changer — it’s what helped me achieve stability in my moods. Sleep is another huge factor, so I make sure to get at least eight hours every night.

Beyond that, I have a great support system of friends, family, and professionals who help me monitor patterns in my moods and track my triggers. It makes a huge difference to have people who can notice changes that I might not pick up on myself. I also focus on spending quality time with people (and pets) I love, staying active, and eating well. Keeping a solid routine helps me feel in control and on track.”
