I was searching Youtube for Natasha Tracy’s videos and came across the podcast “Wellbeing with Jack Hodgins” which delves into topics on physical and mental health.

There are several podcasts on bipolar, and I listened to two of them today; Natasha Tracy’s, and Terri Cheney’s. I found them both very informative and relatable.

Teri Cheney spoke about alcohol use and bipolar, saying that “you shouldn’t drink if you’re bipolar because your brain is already trying hard enough to stay stable and when you add in a depressant…your brain chemistry just reacts really badly…certainly if you’re on medication it’s important not to drink.”

Her words came at just the right time for me to hear. I stayed sober today.
