What Does a Bipolar Depressive Episode Feel Like?

After a recent bipolar depressive episode, I realized it was time to open up about what a bipolar depressive episode feels like from my point of view. As optimistic as I try to be about my experience living with bipolar 2 disorder, I cannot ignore the pain of depression.

Every day, I read the comments on my videos and posts, and see people sharing personal parts of their story. I was motivated by these honest discussions to share the part of my life that I keep hidden. In this video, I let my guard down and share a piece of my dark days with bipolar 2 disorder.

I am sure all of you can agree that being vulnerable is not an easy task, but sharing our stories makes it a lot easier. Please do a response video and send it into info @healthyplace.com. What does a depressive episode look like for you? How do you cope with it? Share your thoughts below in the comment section.

See you next week!
