Hi! I’m John Poehler.

I believe that we are all on this earth to lead fulfilling lives and support each other along the way.

As an award-winning mental health advocate, I tirelessly work to bring awareness to successfully treating and managing bipolar disorder.

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1999, I have decades of living with it firsthand.

During that time, I have discovered the tools and strategies to successfully manage my own bipolar disorder.

This War Within My Mind

We are all individuals and cope with life in very different and complex ways. The same can be said for treating and managing bipolar disorder.

We may have the same diagnosis, but you need to find what works for you.

My philosophy is to embrace the good and battle the bad.

Along my journey, I discovered an intense love for writing. I translated this new love into a book that I wrote in 2020, entitled This War Within My Mind.

Based on my blog, The Bipolar Battle, This War Within My Mind is a “how-to guide” to successfully manage your own bipolar disorder.

A picture of the cover is to the right.

You can take a look at some of my accomplishments.
