About this meeting
Living with Bipolar can be difficult, especially during hypomania/ mania phases when spending is at an all time high. I created this group to discuss strategies that might help someone cope during an episode whether it be depressive or mania. Questions to ponder on: How do you dig yourself out of a financial blackhole? How do you maintain financial wellness once it is established? Finances and money change people. For the safety of everyone in the group, please do not discuss personal financial amounts but rather general/ vague concepts. This group is specifically for coping with episodes that throw off financial wellness. Some guidelines to follow are as permitted: This is a safe place for peers. Student observers are not permitted. Please exit this group immediately if you are here for student observations and not as a peer. This is to ensure the safety and confidentiality of everyone here. These groups are confidential, everything said here stays here. There is no discrimination towards race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or age. Bullying will not be tolerated. When it is your turn to speak, please use the hand raise feature at the bottom of the screen. If you're experiencing a crisis, please call or text 988. If you do not adhere to these guidelines, you will be removed from the group.

About the host
Hi my Name is Megan I am a state certified peer specialist and have also been a caregiver. Living with a mood disorder can be stressful on top of “regular” life. My goal is to provide support, skills and resources in a safe space for peers. A place they can be heard no matter what stage a peer is in on their journey of life. Community is the heart of healing. We do recover as long as there is hope. “Genius and insanity are closer than they seem, your perspective is the difference between your nightmares and your dreams” IN-Q page 72 from the book Inquire Within
Motivation for help
I struggled with depression on and off since the age of 13. It became progressively worse at the age of 16-mid twenties when I finally checked myself into the hospital for suicidal ideation. My motivation to help is to help bridge the 10 year plus gap of a misdiagnosis regarding bipolar 2 disorder which from my experience presented as depression and generalized anxiety. To decrease stigma by reframing what bipolar is as a gift rather than a mental illness. If you nurture your mental wellness, it decreases your risk of mental illness. Promoting confidence and self advocacy is important to me.
