Today we honor the strength and resilience of those living with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder causes intense mood swings—manic highs and depressive lows—that impact millions worldwide. But with the right treatment and support, stability and fulfilling lives are possible.

This day also commemorates the birthday of Vincent van Gogh, who faced these challenges and left a lasting legacy. Let's break the stigma, raise awareness, and support each other on this journey.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲:
- Educate yourself about symptoms and treatments
- Wear a black-and-white ribbon to show solidarity
- Share stories to spread understanding
- Attend local awareness events or webinars
- Listen with compassion to those affected

Together, we can create a world where mental health is prioritized and bipolar disorder is understood.

I’m not waiting for a text back to feel worthy.
I’m buying my own flowers and chocolate this year.
The relationship with myself is the longest one I’ll ever have,
so I need to cherish it. 💐

My bipolar episodes don’t come out of nowhere.
They send invitations first.
I’m learning to spot the early warning signs so I can intervene early.
Awareness is power. 🐼

On Monday, UConn men's basketball won its 5th national championship. Today, a star of its 2nd championship team (2004) was arrested during an episode caused by his bipolar disorder.

Ben Gordon wrote a really moving piece in 2020 about his mental health experiences. As all of us UConn fans celebrate, let's keep him close. 💙🤍
