By Hollie Smith| hellogiggles.com@ One night when my S.O. and I were having an intimate conversation, I casually informed him that I’m bipolar. In an atypical response, my boyfriend shrugged and said, “I figured.” While his nonchalant reaction was amazing, relationships can normally be a minefield when it comes to mental illness. Perhaps he responded this way because he’s known me through all my manic and depressive episodes or maybe it’s because he loves me exactly the way I am.
By Hollie Smith| hellogiggles.com@ December 12th, 2017 is the official day that I became free from my abuser. I was a victim of gaslighting, and I had been living with a narcissistic partner who manipulated and minimized me for two years. After stopping my life that week to move out of our shared place and into my parents’ house, I started suffering from PTSD. I was reliving his abusive words, his alcoholism, and his narcissistic tendencies that I had been living with. So that December, I chose to skip out on holiday festivities.
By Hollie Smith| hellogiggles.com@ When I celebrated Thanksgiving with my family in 2017, I had recently survived a nervous breakdown, had just begun taking antidepressants for my bipolar disorder, was keeping myself afloat on three months of unemployment, and had started to see the cracks in my abusive relationship. It had been a tough year. I wanted to escape those feelings, so I attached myself to the family bar cart in the living room.
