💡 Bipolar isn’t just struggle—it brings strengths too.

At first, Cerys saw only challenges:
⚡ Mood swings
⚡ Painful lows
⚡ Hypomania’s fallout

But in time, the positives arrived:
✅ Love for small joys
✅ Deep empathy
✅ Creativity that fuels joy

Have you found strengths in struggle?

Cerys' story ⬇️

I quit drinking when I was 19. ❌🍺

A two month break, I told myself.

Somehow it's been 13 years since I uttered: "I'm never drinking again."

I wrote about my reasons for quitting and the many positives (and even some negatives) of going sober.

Are you in a similar boat?

My absolute favourite subjects.

Cats from Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. Too many to pick from so could be a series incoming 🐈

I was given the opportunity to write about this topic and it morphed into a love letter to libraries, some dung-flinging at the government and a call to action.
