In the autumn of 2016, one year into my PhD, I was diagnosed with Bipolar type 2 disorder. Upon returning to my studies after a period of intercalation, I felt very isolated and alone; I realized that whilst mental illness was rife within the academic community, no-one seemed to know how to deal with me or my illness - least of all myself. 

Three years on, and I'm finally coming to the end of my PhD studies. I've come along way on my wellness journey and now it's time to share my story with the world.
