Living your best bipolar life Bipolarmommi I am a woman, mom, wife, sister, aunt, daughter and friend living with bipolar hypomania for the past 27 years. I have seen my fair share of doctors, psychiatrists, therapists and have experimented with medications for the past 10 years. I have done alot of research and i am in no way a doctor or medical professional but i will be real. I will be raw. I will speak about the highs and the lows and the darkness and the light. My truths are mine but many times i find i have much more in common with others than i even realize. Follow me on my bipolar journey towards a better life. Presence of Love by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Loyal Books Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan. His critical work, especially on Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking culture. He coined many familiar words and phrases, including the celebrated suspension of disbelief. He was a major influence on Emerson, and American transcendentalism.Throughout his adult life, Coleridge suffered from crippling bouts of anxiety and depression; it has been speculated by some that he suffered from bipolar disorder, a condition not identified during his lifetime. Coleridge suffered from poor health that may have stemmed from a bout of rheumatic fever and other childhood illnesses. He was treated for these concerns with laudanum, which fostered a lifelong opium addict Ballin and Bipolar Phylecia Kellar On this podcast we're going to talk about everything Bipolar, Ballin and being in love with being alive.
