Episode description

Hi besties, it's Shaley! In this solo episode, I dive deep into a highly requested topic: disordered eating, especially in the context of living with bipolar 2 disorder. I share my personal experiences, struggles, and the cyclical nature of my relationship with food. From teenage dieting to adult binge eating, I explore how these patterns intertwined with my bipolar disorder.

Join me as I discuss the impact of societal pressures, seasonal depression, and medication on weight and self-image. I also touch on the importance of community, peer support, and the transformative power of storytelling. Whether you're a returning listener or new to the podcast, I hope my story offers comfort and insight. Remember, you're not alone, and our stories are far from over.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening. If this episode or podcast means something to you, I would be forever grateful if you would follow/subscribe the ‘this is bipolar’ podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you stay up to date. It would also mean the world to me if you gave a 5 ⭐️ review- this helps the podcast reach those who need to hear it most.

Much love, Shaley xo
