I had a light bulb moment (albeit a slow one, as I had it over a year ago, but it has stayed burning in my brain since then) when I started reading a few books by Dana K.White, called "How To Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind" and "Decluttering At The Speed Of Life", and watching her YouTube channel. She started out by deciding to start a blog called "A Slob Comes Clean", where she kept track of her progress with her struggles, and to kind of hold herself accountable for the changes she was trying to implement in her life.
It got me thinking that I could do the same with my areas of struggle. So I have started a video-journal, along with this blog, where I will document my Bipolar 2 journey, and how I am trying to use my creativity to cope. If I am the only one to ever use it to look back on, and track my progress, then that is fine. It's hopefully going to be good therapy.
If anyone wants to join me, you can subscribe to this blog and I will post my video-journals here. Or you can join me on YouTube or TikTok to stay up to date, as well.
Here is my first video-journal:
