'I'm not sure who I am' - Bake Off winner in shock after bipolar diagnosis

Former Great British Bake Off champion Georgina Grasso has expressed shock after receiving a bipolar disorder diagnosis, revealing she actually has bipolar 2 and autism. Grasso, from Carmarthenshire, previously disclosed her ADHD diagnosis during her time on the show, which garnered an "incredible" public reaction. However, her new diagnosis has left her questioning her identity and abilities.

In an Instagram post, she stated she needed her fans' support now more than ever as she learns about her mental health condition. Grasso, who has since become a content creator, mentioned that the consistency required for filming has made her doubt her capacity to continue. She has started new medication in hopes of stabilizing her mood while working and has sought advice from followers with bipolar experience.

Bipolar disorder, according to the NHS, is characterized by extreme mood swings ranging from high to low, typically lasting a few days to weeks. Grasso emphasized the importance of seeking help from a mental health professional who can accurately diagnose the condition to ensure proper treatment and support.
