Emily Mendez, founder of Thriving With Bipolar, smiling outdoors

Hi, my name is Emily Mendez. I am a former therapist and someone who lives with bipolar 1. I started TWB to offer insight, support and education for others navigating bipolar disorders. You’re not alone here.

What is Thriving With Bipolar?

Key Things That Help Me Thrive

  • Treatment (Medications and therapy)

  • Consistent, daily stable routine

  • Good sleep hygiene

  • Self-awareness (Monitoring symptoms)

-Emily Mendez, M.S.Ed., Ed.S., former therapist with lived experience.

Thriving with bipolar means moving beyond managing symptoms to achieve a stable, fulfilling life.

It involves a combination of self-awareness, professional treatment, healthy relationships, and purposeful routines that protect mood and sleep. Thriving with Bipolar is about building a happy life where the disorder exists, but does not define who you are.
