“Success, when you’re living with bipolar disorder, is what you make it. You have to define your own success.”

It's my birthday today! I'm thinking about that quote. I am officially 28 years old, and I am so grateful to be sharing this day with you all! Every year is a new adventure and chapter of my life.

I embrace getting older and how could I not when on September 11, 2001, so many innocent people died in the terror attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City; a moment that I will never forget. It is a good time for reflection and to celebrate life, being that so many cannot.

In this video, I share with you a success story while living with bipolar 2 disorder in hopes that you will share yours with me. We all have something to be proud of, even if it was getting out of bed this morning.

I have learned from living with bipolar 2 disorder that defining success and happiness based on the life you planned for, instead of the one you are meant for, sets you up for failure. Know that you were born to live a great life and you have many things to be proud of.

What is a success story or a moment you are proud of that you would like to share? Please share your experience below or do a response video and send it into info@ healthyplace.com. Thanks! Hannah
