176: Asking For Help As A Man

This is the episode for you if you are a man living with bipolar or you love/care for a man who is. I am joined by Lee Formella, host of Benefits of Bipolar on YouTube, writer for the International Bipolar Foundation + NAMI newsletter & speaker for NAMI. Lee opens up about his experience going about asking for help and the challenges he has faced in this area from a male perspective. He describes the moment that moved him to prioritize this with his struggles with drinking and gambling. If you can relate to feeling like you need to have all the answers and feeling overwhelmed with thinking you need do this alone then Lee's story will give you hope. Lee went from living in survival mode from 15-35 and talks about the process of stepping out of this with the support of his family and girlfriend. Tune in to learn from a male perspective on what has worked for Lee when it comes down to learning how to Live Well Bipolar. Connect with Lee on Instagram here and on his website here.
