Bipolar Does Not Define You

After years of battling mental health obstacles, starting to find myself again by going back to college and running my first triathlon (Driathlon), and stumbling upon a holistic approach to treating bipolar, I began researching the effects I was experiencing after that first race. The positive feelings and new energy I had were not just from the accomplishment of finishing the race. Training actually helps to regulate the bipolar chemical imbalance I had been struggling with for so long. I continued my training and set out to accomplish a lofty goal in the summer of 2024: 11 medals for the 11 years my mental health obstacles controlled my life. I signed up for 10 triathlons and an 8.2-mile swim around Mackinac Island. Life threw a new obstacle at me on my way to every finish line, but I was unstoppable. By September, 11 medals hung on my wall as a testament to the fact that obstacles can be overcome by making the choice to
keep going.
