Mental Health

I struggle with Bi-Polar and have highs/lows and mania along side my struggle with my recovery. It's a constant rollercoaster of mania and on the other end of the spectrum I have very low lows, when I'm manic I am energetic, in a good mood, I am tidy and then when I'm on the low end I am weak, blank, I am in my head alot and future trip.

and before I ever did drugs I got sick and an infection I had got into my blood and the infection got to my teeth and began to rot them from the inside out. I had dentures for a short while and then my mother-in-law decided to burn all of my belongings while I was gone one day and I had forgot my dentures that morning so they were gone. My insurance wouldn't pay for a replacement for 6 years and now I am terrified of talking to people and very insecure about my "teeth". My mind is super messed up.

Katie, you’re not alone, and I’m sorry you’re feeling this.
I’m confident many of us are bi-polar and are embarrassed about a multitude of things physically or emotionally.
That’s why the sober community is vital to my recovery. They are my people that understand me and have compassion as I do for them.
