this is kind of sappy-ish example iām thinking of, and idk if many people have noticed her speak abt it (or will care), but iāve been a fan of chappell roan since like spring 2023 and sheās talked a few times about having bipolar and it just feels really validating and inspiring hearing her talk about it, especially knowing how loved her and her music have become since i first heard of herā¦ i have a hard time talking about my experiences but itās really nice seeing her talk about it, and some of what sheās said about her experience with bp has been so relatable to me. especially having such a stigmatized and intense condition it just makes me really happy to see her so successful bc i know how difficult (or scary) it can get š
āBeing bipolar, I was so depressed as a little kid and so angry. You just think youāre such a bad person, and donāt realize that youāre really sick and need help, and our parents donāt know how to deal with it. I think itās like rewiring my brain to be like, āactually, youāre a good person, and youāre creating a safe space and music for people to dance to.āā
