Hi, I’m Kirra.
Something I don’t talk about often—I was diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder in 2020. Since then, I’ve made it a priority to practice intentional self-care and stay consistent with mood-boosting habits that support my stability and growth.
I’ve been fortunate to have strong family support, meaningful friendships, and a career ( James Bentley Treatment Program, Methadone Clinic, and 2.5/3.1 IOP and PHP) that allows me to pour into others—things I don’t take for granted. I also recognize that many individuals living with mental health diagnoses don’t have that same level of support.
That’s part of why I’m choosing to be more open.
Moving forward, I’ll be sharing what I do daily to stay grounded, focused, and thriving—real strategies that you can apply in your own life.
At Ollivier Community Circle, we’re also launching a discussion board where you can connect, ask questions, and receive guidance from licensed professionals, including LPCs and LCSWs.
I used to feel hesitant sharing my story—but if my experience can help even one person feel seen, supported, or encouraged to seek help, it’s worth it.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Support is available. 🤍
