Hey friends,

Jared here. March 30th is World Bipolar Day. Here are my thoughts. I am most grateful for friends and community. Having others has helped me more than anything. From one year ago when I crashed my car and became closer with Jacob and Frank at our Celebrate Life group to church groups, pastors, leaders, nuclear family, NAMI friends, all those I have had on the podcast, roommates, and everyone else that I have met. 

Do you have friends? Do you have a support system? Do you believe that God wants to provide this for you in the midst of struggle where you might feel hopeless? I believe God wants us to stay connected to others. We have to be brave in this space and take risks as we open up. Being connected and staying connected is key to grow in self-compassion and in love towards others.

Bipolar has also taught me how to love myself better and how to love others better.
