Bi-Polar Disorder

A Decision (sort of!)

February 16, 2017 By Nichole Porath 4 Comments

Just a quick update - I headed to the U of MN to see Dr. Bond (could there BE a cooler name than that?) on Tuesday. Like so many of you suggested, I just explained where my head and heart were at. He started out by asking me about my symptoms, how I thought I was managing, ...

Bi-Polar Medication Dilemma…

February 9, 2017 By Nichole Porath 8 Comments

Nice to see you again, Mr. Depression… and THEN…

January 29, 2016 By Nichole Porath 8 Comments

About 2 weeks ago, things started to change ever so slightly. [Disclaimer: I thought about NOT posting, since I don't want to be looked at as the "bi-polar" woman at work, when I coach, etc. But, wouldn't that be contributing to the silence that surrounds mental health? My goal ...
