My Life in Technicolor

This is a part of my private scrapbook from a few years ago. I share this because there is still such a stigma about mental health issues, & so many people feel stuck hiding their struggles & not getting the support they need. If this is you, you are NOT alone! Please open up to someone... anyone that you trust. Together we can wipe out the shame that goes along with these medical issues! 

Please feel free to share if you feel this may help someone else. 

"Lately I feel like I've been on this journey towards discovering myself & accepting myself for who I really am - the good, the bad, & the beautiful! 

I've struggled for a long time with the acceptance part, but I'm really starting to want to get there... which is a good first step. 

Part of my battle is struggling with my bi-polar disorder. For most of my life I've either flat-out denied it, or felt really resentful. 

But then God really showed me that part of the joy of who I am is that I live my life in technicolor. I may really struggle with balance in my life (who doesn't), but if I change who I am, then it would be like painting over the colours of my life with grey. 

Accepting myself means accepting the dark stormy colours with the bold, rich ones that I love. 

This scrapbook is a journal for me as my cheap version of therapy as I journey through my life in exploration of what it is that makes me tick... or sing, or laugh, or cry. Who am I & what am I all about are the questions, & my voyage to the answers is where I'm choosing to live my life in technicolor!"
