New on the Brave Blog "Breaking Down Walls" By Jessie Steele I never knew what bipolar disorder was when I was younger. It was a foreign subject; it was taboo. The first time I heard the word someone was referencing the weather as bipolar, using the word as an adjective. I was officially diagnosed bipolar when I was just about to turn 17. The mixed emotions were suffocating. Strong feelings like relief to finally know what was going on with me, but also terrified. The diagnosis felt like a death sentence. Stuck to have manic ups and depressive downs for the rest of my life, I was on a rollercoaster that would never end. My whole world was turned upside down forever.
