We’ve heard before about receiving a diagnosis later in life, but imagine the confronting experience of being admitted to a psych ward as an adult and being told you have bipolar disorder.
Laura Schiller is a self-proclaimed hot-mess wife, mom of 3 and retired lawyer.
Five years ago she was a content wife, mom, lawyer, and successful entrepreneur and then she found herself unexpectedly in a mental hospital.
She is thankful for the experience and learned so many great lessons in the mental hospital. Now she signed on with a publisher for her book about her mental health journey.
In this episode she shares:
- Her life before hospital
- Her experience of going to hospital
- How the psych ward differed to the mental hospital
- What she wishes she knew back then
- If she sees signs in your past that you had bipolar disorder
- What happened when they told her she had bipolar
- Her book and what she hopes to do
- What it was like leaving the hospital
