A conversation between me and my mind, and you get to come along! Welcome, my name is Gretchen (she/her), I’m a 19 year old from America, and this is my mental health focused podcast where I share my experiences, advice, and generally just whatever’s going on in my mind, in hopes of helping you feel less alone. I’ve struggled with my mental health most of my life, and I recently decided I needed a platform to share my story with others as a support that I wish I could have had for myself. Mental health struggles can be insanely difficult, trust me, I’ve collected a bunch over the years, and no one should have to feel like they’re in it alone. Whether you’re in the thick of it, or looking back, I hope you can find support and comfort here. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, let’s get through this together and fight the stigma!

Taking a Journey Through My Journeys With Bipolar II
Welcome Back! It’s your favorite podcast featuring new cover art!!! Ooooo Ahhhh! Don’t worry, George is still on there. This week it’s episode 5, and I had to switch up the title to fit with my thoughts. Join me on a journey through the journeys I’ve taken since being diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in 2022.
Having a mental illness is difficult, especially one that relies on low stress and stability. So, naturally, travel will be difficult. But I love to travel. I love it!
In this episode you get to come along on a journey (I’m really loving that word today) through 3 journeys (ok, maybe this is too much) or as they would better be described, trips/vacations, after I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder. Come see what it was like for me to travel so early into learning what it was like to have this disorder. And I’ll even tell you what I learned from my 3 treacherous journeys (haha good word choice).
Potential triggers*
Bipolar disorder
Depression
Eating Disorders
Unstable/dysregulated moods
Medication (not by name)
Medication side effect/allergic reaction
Planes/flights
Depression
Suicide/idealation
Hospitalization
Residential Treatment
*This list is made up of what I believe might be triggering to someone, but it may not be a complete list, feel free to check the show transcription for your personal triggers before listening :)
