      I got diagnosed with it just a few months ago, I honestly think the stigma matters less than figuring out your patterns and how your triggers and episodes flow. It really helps navigate through everyday life when you know what episode youre in and you know the symptoms.

      ^^^ i use Daylio to track my mood and it’s really helped me recognize when an episode is coming on and then I can put things in place to avoid it or mitigate the consequences
