Welcome to my podcast, so damn interesting. I am Tio E, your host. I am a bipolar, half-Japanese, queer woman of faith who is out wrestling this world head on. I love sharing my life with you and you can imagine it is pretty interesting for someone with all those monikers. Today's episode will do something that I said I would never ever do. That is, I am going to feature my bipolar disease for the entirety of the episode. I never wanted to do this because I never wanted to be pigeon-holed into just one part of my life. I never wanted to be "that bipolar girl'. And also because I feel that once someone discovers you are bipolar, they suddenly view every single thing about you through that bipolar lens. However, so many of you responded to my last episode and what I talked about in my bipolar life that I decided to share more about that. Particularly because people had lots of questions for me. People found the discussions with Cynthia (my partner) to be so helpful. So, yes! Cynthia is back and joins me for the entire episode. I hope you'll give us a listen. We talk about what it was like for Cynthia to discover I was bipolar and then we spend a good bit of time talking about my psychiatric hospitalization in 2015. Please join us! We welcome your comments and suggestions at my email -- so.damn.interesting@gmail.com
