SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: Opinion: Lil Nas X’s bipolar diagnosis and the paradox of treatment
When Lil Nas X recently disclosed that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, one part of his story stood out to me more than the diagnosis itself. For years, he had suspected something was wrong. Yet he resisted seeking treatment because he feared medication.
This is a paradox that exists at the intersection of mental health, identity, and achievement. The people who are most capable of recognizing that something is wrong are often the same people most reluctant to accept help. Not because they deny their suffering, but because they have come to view suffering as an inseparable part of their success.

You can’t undo years of stress or chemical imbalance in one week. Healing is a lot like learning to paint: it takes time, practice and a willingness to make a few mistakes along the way. Be patient with your progress! 🎨 #TrustTheProcess #BipolarAwareness

Mania tries to sell me false energy—the urge to start six massive projects at midnight. I’m learning to spot the counterfeit currency. Real energy is steady; manic energy is frantic. 🛑 #Hypomania #BipolarAwareness #KnowYourSigns

Ioannis on bipolar: "It's not just the lows, it's the highs you got to be aware of too." Bankruptcy from spending during feeling good. Now: "If it's over $100 [on high days], walk away... Think about it for 24 hours." Community strength in shared strategies for recovery. #BipolarAwareness #HealingJourney #MentalHealth

I look back at some of my manic episodes and cringe.
Then I remember: I was sick.
I wouldn't judge myself for vomiting during the flu, so I won't judge myself for symptoms of bipolar.
It’s time to forgive me. ❤️

This is a very personal campaign I've been working on with @bipolar_uk to help #savebipolarlives.

Congratulations to this good boy, Luca, for getting a negative on his Leukemia test! Yesterday we were worried, but today is a day to celebrate! This definitely helps my mental health after a very stressful month. Great that it also happens to fall on #WorldMentalHealthDay.

Those of us with bipolar disorder are always on the lookout for potential triggers.
We know how the smallest act can send us into a tailspin, so we avoid places, people, and activities that can set us off.
What we may forget, or what I forget, is we can also trigger ourselves.
Here are three areas to watch to keep from triggering yourself.

My running buddy is back 👍😃 Cold (wet, windy & muddy) enough for the beastie boy to be alongside me for some #MuddyMilesForMegs as part of my Bipolar UK #poletopolechallenge https://bipolaruk.enthuse.com/pf/andy-barnes The wet fields are also great training for the Oldham 1/2 marathon, the conditions putting less stress on aging joints. https://www.justgiving.com/page/andrew-barnes-1693842196725

Warm one tonight while working down in Kent but an ideal opportunity to head out in my new Bipolar running vest though.
I’m taking part in Bipolar UK’s #poletopolechallenge as me and other supporters look to cover the distance from the North to South Pole by March 30th, 2024 which is world bipolar day.
For my part, I’m looking to walk / run 3,000km and you can read why here https://bipolaruk.enthuse.com/pf/andy-barnes #MuddyMilesForMegs #bipolar #bipolarawareness #suicideprevention

Some images from The Peak District Ultra which me and Henry Batten ran a couple of weeks ago in memory of my daughter and Henrys partner, Megan. We raised money for Bipolar UK and C.A.L.M with great family support around the route. Emotional, but a great day #MuddyMilesForMegs #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #bipolar #bipolarawareness #running #runningpunk #veganrunner #CALM
