Prepare for an entirely raw, unfiltered and vulnerable glimpse into the clouded reality of what living with bipolar disorder once looked like for Paris Prynkiewicz. Upon finishing this story, you will walk away with a deeper understanding about what living with bipolar disorder is all about from the perspective of someone who was both a PATIENT and an EMPLOYEE (at the exact same clinic she was a patient at).
At 19, Paris found herself struggling tremendously from inside the walls of a psychiatric hospital shortly after receiving the diagnosis she always feared most: bipolar 1 disorder. Paris holds nothing back as she gives you the details of what led to both her lowest and highest moments before, during and after her hospitalization. Paris speaks candidly about the severe stigma she once associated with her diagnosis, the role trauma played in her black hole moments and the negative self-talk that plagued all her days.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go from being a patient inside of a psychiatric hospital to one day returning back... to work there? Paris shares all of the emotions that came along with this experience along with the joy that came from serving other patients who had struggled in similar ways to how she once did. This is a story of resiliency written to restore hope back into those who have struggled with bipolar, who are currently struggling or who wish to understand it better. Get ready to learn all of the steps Paris embarked upon taking to turn her world from utterly hopeless to bursting with new found hope.
Paris gets into all the ways she has worked to.....SHATTER the stigma once and for all, CONQUER the obstacles that kept her stuck for years & finally....CRAFT the life she had always only ever dreamed of living.
