Dare to be unique. Dare to be *YOU*

It is my understanding and belief that the world we live in today, as specially in North America, is upside down... When someone is admitted to the hospital for "psychotic behaviors" they are drugged into silence instead of being listened to and guided. Most doctors/psychiatrists would rather treat symptoms instead of getting to the root of the issue. In my opinion people who are diagnosed as schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, etc., are people who are more sensitive to the energies around them (the seen and unseen realms). And instead of being guided and supported on their journey they are drugged and suppressed. Don't get me wrong, everyone is born with psychic abilities. Some people are just more sensitive to the energies than others. Just imagine what kind of world we would live in if these people would be guided and given tools to reclaim their lives! With that said I'm not discrediting all of the medical world. Medication can be useful to c...

Hello everyone, Being a spiritual person I'm constantly receiving downloads and messages from my guides/higher self/Angels whatever you want to call them. And I've been feeling the pull to write this for a while now and today just felt like the right time... At the risk of being judged and misunderstood, here goes... 9 years after being diagnosed this is how I'm processing Bipolar "Disorder"... For a long time I struggled with the title because I didn't want a label and I didn't think anything was wrong with me... It felt like I was being punished for being a hyper spiritual person. Truth is, to survive in this world I need to be medicated (at least for now) so that I stay grounded. I'm so spiritual that my physical body has a hard time staying grounded in this reality and that is where medication comes in. As of right now the only medication I'm on is Lithium which is salt which helps control my highs. When I'm in Mania, I don't eat and I ...

How come manic episodes last a minute and are followed by months/years of a more depressive state? I miss being manic, it was closer to my real personality. I use to be energetic, motivated, go-go-go kind of person. If you met me now you wouldn't say so... Is it enough to just function? Just going through the motions without really living... I don't recognize myself anymore. Everything I use to love to do I barely do anymore... Getting up in the morning is a chore. Getting through the day is a struggle. I need to kick myself in the butt just to do the simplest tasks. I'm not really depressed, I would say I'm more neutral. I don't get excited about things anymore. Every day is just more of the same.  Hopefully things turn around soon... 

 Hello friends, It's been over a year since my last post, time flies... It seems I'm not very good at consistently keeping up a blog lol What's been going on with me in the past year? Well... I've struggled for a while because of my bipolar disorder... This year has been all about trying to find balance and being more adaptable. No matter what life throws my way I always find a way through it but this year has really been a trying year. I have to admit, I still don't feel 100% but I'm working hard everyday towards becoming the best possible version of myself. Hope you guys are doing well xo 

*Post from december 8th 2019 (Facebook)* How do we start a conversation that no one seems to want to have?... Hi, my name is Michelle Soucy and 7 years ago I was diagnosed with type 1 Bipolar Disorder… What does that mean exactly? I have a mood disorder that, if not under control, makes it so that I can’t function “normally” in my day to day life… Hyper mania is my downfall. Actually, I don’t fall, I fly… A bit too high, and all without the use of drugs or alcohol… When I ’m having an episode I don’t eat or sleep for weeks at a time because “I don’t need to”. I literally get high on life and the beauty that surrounds me. So much so that it gets very overwhelming and I can’t stop crying…That in turn makes it look like I’m in a depressive state, but in reality it's the complete opposite of how I’m feeling. After 7 years of being able to live my day to day life seemingly “normal” I had another episode. I’m not out of the woods yet, I’m on a temporary break from the hospita...
