My name is Pixie, and I suffer from Bipolar II Disorder. For most of my life, I knew something was off about me. I didn’t react to things the same way other kids did, I was too emotional about it. I either cried over the silliest things that most kids might laugh at, or I’d get so angry I’d start hitting people. I’ve been in and out of counseling my entire life, hearing things like “anger management issues,” “overly sensitive,” “extreme empathy,” “extremely mild OCD.” As a child, these all sounded like really big words, and I didn’t really know what they meant.
Years later, after crawling through life, fighting past each doctor and therapist, dealing with everyday issues regarding my mental health, my physical health, my relationships and even more problems, I finally received a diagnosis, a real, analyzed, medicated disorder. At 22 years old, in December of 2020, I was finally told that I without a doubt suffered from Bipolar II Disorder. The journey was long, and it’s definitely not over yet, but I’m finally looking forward to a treatment that’s designed for me, instead of a generalized treatment meant to handle a broad spectrum of my symptoms.
