Our Bipolar

@UCp5C_jdFWNdn6EOVaH9KB5w - 6.9K subscribers

This is our bipolar disorder. Our experiences. Our bipolar community. Here at Our Bipolar, we redefine bipolar disorder through personal stories and community. Welcome in! I’m Jess Curtis, wife, mom, editor, and bipolar advocate. I’ve had 27 years of experience living with bipolar: mania, psychosis, depression, hypomania, mixed episodes, and yes, stability (the holy grail!). I talk about all of it to give a fuller picture of life with bipolar. This channel strives to break stigma, offer support, and promote better understanding of bipolar disorder.
