  • Summary

  • An in depth look at the reality of living life Bipolar as an African American. Hosted by mental health advocate Toni Wooden. This podcast is about my experience as a black woman that has navigated around my life with Bipolar type 2 with psychosis(I hear two voices daily). I want to break down myths and stigmas around people with Bipolar disorders. My experience is not the only experience when it comes to black women and having a mental disorder. However, I want to give a platform to people like me to talk about our experiences and share with the world who we are and how we navigate everyone and everything.

    Black and Bipolar with Friends
    Jun 7 2021
    When I first started hearing these voices was in middle school I started to notice these episodes I was having with my mental health was taking a big toll on my body. I reached out to my same age friend about 15 years old to talk to her about the voices to let her know what I was going through. I did not expect a lot to come from it I just wanted to feel heard like I wasn't disappearing. Have you ever felt unheard? Do you have someone special you can share all your fears with?

    This episode me and partner open up about our personal relationship and how the up and downs you can still navigate a relationship with a mental illness. It is not easy being open about being mentally ill but if you do find a partner or friend that can make it safe for you it makes it easier for you to do so. My partner Melissa Nieves Rivera opens up about our tests and trials.

    Have you ever felt unsure of taking medication? Or have you doubted that you even needed help in the first place? I am talking about my first experience with taking medication and how it felt when I thought the people close to me could help me. My doctor took my voice my business partner told me to power through it. Have you ever felt so alone that it feels like you are drowning? You are not alone. There are communities that you can talk to.
