notcrazyjustbipolar

My name is Clisver, I am 32 years old and when I received this diagnosis I was only 16 for me, my bipolar diagnosis was a tragedy. Not only was it horrendous to have to deal with the bullying from other children, students and even adults.  It was also very difficult accepting that I was not like the others and that the term normal would never fit  me or in my life. Fortunately, today I have accepted not only myself as a person but also my diagnosis. Through this journey I learned that having this diagnosis especially one that belongs under the mental health umbrella was not something that made me less but it was part of me, of who I was and that was of the many reasons why I was so creative, smart, and loving. want to help bridge the gap within the Hispanic-Latino community, particularly those within the mental health with my content. It's because of my own diagnosis that I chose this path and it has helped me become a better person, mother, woman and life coach in general.
