from Notes to My Nervous System: Mom Therapy & Real Conversations · host Mind Circuit App | Real Conversations & Nervous System Therapy

In this candid and high-energy short, Liz breaks down the stark contrast between the lows of depression and the "super duper hyped up" reality of being manic. With her signature blunt honesty, she explores why society finds it so easy to ignore someone in a depressive state while immediately labeling manic behavior as being "off your rocker."Liz dives into the "Kanye West vibes" of a manic episode, discussing:The "High" of Mania: Navigating delusions of grandeur, "spinning dollar bills," and the intense rush of energy.The Invisible Struggle: Why depression is often overlooked by friends and family because it doesn't "make a scene."The "Off Your Meds" Stigma: The frustrating societal assumption that any high-energy or "off" behavior means a total lapse in treatment.The Social Perception Gap: Why we react to the "loud" symptoms of mental health while ignoring the quiet ones.Whether you've experienced these cycles yourself or are trying to understand a loved one, Liz’s breakdown offers a raw, relatable look at the bipolar spectrum without the clinical jargon.Find Liz athttps://www.instagram.com/northcarolizzy/@northcarolizzyExplore MindCircuit:🌐 Website: mindcircuit.org – Helping you navigate the highs and lows of mental wellness.Download the MindCircuit App:Track your moods, identify triggers, and find balance with the MindCircuit toolkit.  📲Download on Apple App Store:  ⁠https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mindcircuit/id6478664305⁠📲Get it on Google Play: ⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.ageOfUncertainty⁠Stay Connected: Follow us for daily insights on resilience and recovery.
