Personal Narrative: My Diagnosis Of Bipolar Disorder
For many years I have been battling with my diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. I have had very rough days but also some of the best thanks to my son and husband.

When I became pregnant, it changed me, some days I hated myself and other days I loved everything about myself but the moment I was able to hold my new born I knew there would always be someone who loved me unconditionally.

I have this perfect little baby boy who loves me for me. He sees my strength, he still knows I am his protector, and he feels my love for him even through my darkest days.

I wrote a children's book, introducing the bravery of a mother being reminded of unconditional love of her son even though she's dealing with BPD. Its a book that many mothers who are dealing with this disease can relate too. It also introduces what BPD is and feels like. One of the few Mental health books that can be out there letting our children know it is okay to have a mom who is different.

Please keep in mind there will be $1.00 donated to raise mental health awareness for every book sold once the book is published.

Please help me by contributing any amount to help make this possible. …show more content…
Much love,

April

    Bipolar Disorder Documentary Analysis

    As a future social worker, I will use the information and knowledge I have gained from this documentary to help my clients understand and acquire treatment for their diagnosis of bipolar disorder. It is clear to me helping my future clients diagnosed with bipolar disorder grasp the importance of treatment and then guiding them down the dirt road to treatment is not going to be an easy task, I would refer the client to an integrated service team led by a physician, most commonly, a psychiatrist. Then, based on the severity of their symptoms, they would either go to a crisis stabilization unit, which is a partial hospitalization program where the patients attend group therapy sessions all day as needed, or they could be transferred to an outpatient…
