World bipolar day and trans day of visibility fall back to back on March 30th and 31st. Iv come a long way. 4 years ago I was actively manic and psychotic and just starting the long journey towards recovery. Both my bipolar and my transness have made me who I am today and without them I would not be as empathetic and understanding as I am. Struggles of any kind can either make you angry and resentful or they can make you gentile and more understanding of others. I am here and thriving today because I refused to let my struggles with my illness and my identity get the better of me. I am stable and healthy and 5 months on HRT today because I refused to let my past pain overshadow my current joy and happiness.
