Navigating Bipolar Disorder and Family Estrangement

Today Clodagh is joined by Sinead who very bravely shares her Unspoken with us. Sinead speaks to Clodagh about battling her emotions as she grew up in a home where emotions weren’t welcome; panic attacks; debilitating low mood; feeling like a burden; and her aha moment, when, aged 21 suddenly everything started to make sense. Sinead’s story is one of resilience, perseverance and courage and it will without doubt inspire you to consider your needs and how you can meet them (stay tuned to Clodagh's therapy segment at the end to further help with this!)Today’s podcast is very proudly sponsored by award-winning Irish skincare brand, Ella & Jo Cosmetics. Find your skin confidence again by shopping Ella & Jo’s beautiful products on www.ellaandjo.ie using discount code UNSPOKEN for 15% offRESOURCES:BBC Four - Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive - Episode guideFree support and information from our helpline (bipolaruk.org)Supporting someone with bipolar disorder - MindUseful contacts for bipolar disorder - MindInternational Bipolar Foundation | Hope, Resources & Support (ibpf.org) Hosted on Acast.
