Bipolar Disorder does not have to be a life sentence.
But surviving it requires a battle plan.
Whether you have a formal diagnosis, or you are just trying to survive severe depression, mania, or psychosis, you are in the right place.
I support the individuals fighting for stability, and the families fighting alongside them.
I know what it feels like to lose custody of your children.
I know what it feels like to disappear for months while your family thinks you're dead.
I know the inside of psych wards, the rehabs, and the gut-punch hopelessness of waking up after an episode realizing you've lost everything. Again.
I know what it’s like to sit in a room full of people and feel completely, utterly alone.
And I know what it feels like to rebuild. Over and over again. Until you finally get it right.
My name is Eric.
I have survived three devastating manic episodes that cost me my marriage, my children, my career, my freedom, and nearly my life. I lost more than most people could survive losing, and I barely made it out alive.
But I am also sober. I saved my marriage to the love of my life. I fought like hell to keep my children in my life, navigating a family court system as broken as the mental health system. I rebuilt my life from the absolute studs, over and over again, until I finally got it right.
I spent years searching the dark for a roadmap. I desperately wanted to find just one person who had lost it all to bipolar and won their life back.
That person didn't exist— So I became him. For my family, for myself, and for anyone standing exactly where I used to be.
If you are where I was… I want to help
Who I Support:
Individuals battling severe depression, mania, and psychosis who are tired of relying on willpower and want a real system.
Families and Spouses who love someone with a severe mental illness and need a crisis protocol to protect their peace and keep their loved one safe.
Anyone who hasn't figured out their exact diagnosis yet, but knows they need a roadmap out of the dark.
How I Built a Roadmap Out of the Dark
A living, breathing, Management Plan:
Clear, documented triggers and warning signs.
A designated support network with defined roles.
Communication scripts to bypass my defensiveness when they are concerned.
A step-by-step escalation matrix so my family knows exactly when to step in.
Bipolar Disorder and Mental Health in general is not a “one size fits all”….
….So your management plan will be tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
