Hi, I am Persephone. Mental health, both awareness and management, is a passion of mine. I live with a few diagnoses, most notably PTSD and Bipolar 1. I hope we can connect and share stories and strategies for life and management.

Yesterday I was officially diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) a disorder in which my mast cells produce histamine when there is no threat (allergy) identified in the body, causing allergic reactions for no reason. We’ve known for a while that I’ve had MCAS but it hadn’t been officially diagnosed until yesterday. I often have flair ups and have had to epi pen myself 3 times in the past 6 years. There’s no cure for MCAS but there are ways to manage symptoms. I feel lucky to be alive and grateful to live in a day and age where modern medicine exists. Just as I don’t let bipolar define who I am, I won’t let MCAS run my entire life. I will manage symptoms as they come up and will conquer this disorder. I will not let it defeat me. #MastCellActivationDisorder #Bipolar1 #MentalHealth #MightyTogether

Has anyone ever made the goal to get out of bed each day and can’t do it on most days? I eventually get out of bed usually, and feel like there will be more of a chance of me having a productive day if I get out of bed relatively early in the morning, but most days I can barely summon the motivation to do it. I’ve had the goal for a couple months now and it doesn’t seem to be improving. My mind in the evening is very different from my mind in the morning and it’s physically hard to get moving. I’ve tried writing down the goal and putting it in my phone but it’s not sticking. Can anyone relate?#Depression #Bipolar1

I’ts been three years now since last post .. I don’t know if my feelings and mood is stable or not but the way i feel now I think that iam stable !
It’s weird because i never thought that i will ever be in this place, I always felt that this disorder define me and i will always be sick.
But now this time i feel diffrent like there’s something changed in me. I no longer feel upset or depressed neither happier or mania, i feel like my brain fainally quiet there’s no any chaos anymore.
Is this a good sign or I’m just hallucinating?

Hey guys, I don’t think this will get lots of attention, but I wanted to share my story of an experience I faced yesterday.

I’d like to share an experience I recently had at a local restaurant where I was mocked and insulted by the owner and her friend. They called me “weird” and “creepy,” claiming I “intimidate locals” because I walk around town. The truth is, I can’t drive due to my disability and medication—walking is how I stay independent.

They also accused me of not paying for food, even though I do most of the time, or bring friends/family who order. Others in the community do the same or even keep unpaid tabs—but I’m the one singled out. I’m on the autism spectrum and live with multiple disabilities.

I believe this treatment was not only hurtful, but a clear example of ableism. I’m hoping to raise awareness and start a broader conversation about how businesses treat neurodivergent and disabled people. I’d be grateful if you could help share my story or guide me to the right place to tell it.

Thank you for your time and advocacy.
For context, the restaurant is called “The Dale” in Mountain Dale, NY. I have schizophrenia, epilepsy, Asperger’s disorder, and a essential tremor disorder which makes it hard for me to walk, do things independently, and makes me act quiet or very talkative in certain circumstances. I do not have a record of any violence, I just take lots of medications so sometimes I stare off into space or look grimaced.
