CENTERING MYSELF AFTER CHAOS

July 27, 2021

It as been a while since I wrote. I was lost in an big emotional and existential chaos and it was very painful. Slowly but surely i am coming back to a grounding place which does not look like a depressed nor manic phase but with a feeling of aliveness nonetheless. Today my new psy lent me a comic book about bipolar disorder. I was very hesitant to read it at first because i still have a hard time accepting the diagnosis but I gave it a try. What I read was enlightening and inspiring!!!! The words and the images spoke to me in a way that no psychology books nor videos did! Finally someone with bp experience and artistic talent was able to convey with simplicty, humour and poise an essential part of the tourmented me and atypical life. Its written in french: “Goupil ou face” from Lou Lubie.
