a letter to my mind shaley hoogendoorn

Its WORLD BIPOLAR DAY!
Here is a letter I wrote to my mind in 2017 for @shelovesmag. It was the first time I shared online about living with bipolar 2 disorder. Let me know what you think.
.
"I longer blame you. I no longer hate you. I didn’t know how much you were hurting. I didn’t know you were trying your best. I see now how we are connected and that you are my greatest ally. We no longer have to dread the changing seasons.
We get to choose our own songs now. We have so many choices. We can dance slow or upbeat but now with moves of great purpose. We can sit in our pain and not let it drown us. We can live in great joy and excitement without the inevitable crash. We can fully participate in the grand plans Creator has for us.
We know without a doubt that we are all kinds of crazy. The good kind. The kind that tells a story. The kind that searches for others in their darkness. The kind that stands in the brave, beautiful and daring. The kind that seeks freedom and believes in better tomorrows.
Dear Mind, we got this.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I often feel this way about my depression and ocd. They often pull me in opposite directions and can feel like I’m drowning. I love this and the podcast as a whole 💕
