Tracey's Story

  • Jan 27, 2022
As a teenager, I had felt like I was so different than others. I always felt down and out and I never felt happy. I was always so tense and upset about everything. I started having thoughts that I would be better off dead. I finally told my mother and she got me help as soon as next day came along. For anyone who has a mental illness, I want you to be strong – we are all the same. Find the right medication and a therapist you feel comfortable around. One more thing, always keep your head up.

I think people who battle bipolar are warriors. The very fact that we face the battles that we know lie ahead shows we have a warrior's heart.

When the doctors described the symptoms of mania to me, I was surprised at first. I just thought those behaviors were okay.

I was diagnosed when I was 50. My doctor said that my tremendous drive to succeed at work and raise children kept this hidden.

I felt hopeful for once. I was terrified of the stigma behind my illness, how my family, friends and even my husband would see me.
