Hi, I’m David. M, I created this blog, to share my experience, thoughts and journey about mental health, how to overcome, adapt and grow.
I have bipolar disorder type 1, PTSD, OCD and autistic tendencies. Moreover, I suffer from other health issues: chronic fatigue, back pain, muscle and joint pain, eye fatigue, tinnitus etc.
I have been in remission from manic episodes since 2006.
At the peak of my illnesses I took up to 5 types of medications. Now, I take only 1 type of medication (10mg Olanzapine daily) and there is a possibility that I will be medication free for the rest of my life.
I’ve successfully lost weight, maintained a healthy BMI, and am actively working to regain my fitness with little but notable success.
In this blog, I will write about what worked and what didn’t to surmount different difficulties that interact to create a vicious circle which is more challenging.
Additionally, I have created this blog as it is known that writing is a form of therapy as it will help me organize my thoughts and gain more depth by writing, researching and reviewing specific health topics.
