Brittany C is passionate about Ballet Folklorico dancing, and got dxed with MS. "My immediate concern was, 'Will I still be able to dance?'

But the doctor [brought] hope: 'Once you get on a treatment, I would have no doubt that you will return to the stage.'”

"The path … has not been without its challenges [but] it has taught me resilience and adaptivity." She is more mindful of her movements, energy levels and avoiding overheating. "But the joy of dancing remains undiminished.… En la Danna, no existen límites, existen posibilidades. (In dance, there are no limits, only possibilities)."

The Memoir of My Life - A Story About My Life with Bipolar Disorder #BipolarDisorder #MentalHealth #MoodDisorders

“A Diagnosis Isn’t an Explanation” is a personal exploration of mental illness, identity, addiction, perception and the struggle to understand oneself.

Drawing on lived experience, the book examines the difference between receiving a diagnosis and truly understanding the person living with it. It explores the internal battles that can remain invisible to others, the misunderstandings that arise when behaviour is viewed without context, and the ongoing search for an explanation that goes beyond a medical label.

This is not a clinical textbook or a polished account written with the benefit of perfect hindsight. It is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable expression of one person’s experiences and attempts to make sense of them.

The writing is presented largely as it emerged, preserving its imperfections and individuality rather than reshaping it to meet conventional expectations.

Ultimately, this book is about being human behind the diagnosis, questioning what we think we understand about ourselves and others, and recognising that naming a condition is not the same as understanding a person.

World Mental Health Day

Mental health isn't always visible, and you never know what someone might be dealing with behind the scenes. 💚

For World Mental Health Day, let's keep the conversation going, be a little kinder to ourselves and others, and remember that we don't have to see someone's struggle for #youarenotalone it to matter.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Ann (bewhoyouwannabe). I'm here because I want to find a community who can understand the mind-body struggle and still enjoy life.

Do something that makes life feel more worth living.

There have been difficult moments in my life that led to suicidal thoughts. But creativity kept me going...

I self-published books. I volunteered at a winery. Now, I facilitate workshops that help others explore their own stories.

If you can, find something that gives you a reason to greet another morning—something that awakens your curiosity, purpose, or creativity. Start small and allow it to grow with you.

This world deserves the opportunity to witness your brilliance.
