Linsey Godfrey was 21 years old she was diagnosed with Bipolar II. The condition causes periods of depression and low mood, followed by periods of high energy and elevated mood, per Soaps in Depth. The actress began taking medication, her health didn’t improve. “I spent a decade just getting worse and not understanding. Watching my relationships with people change and also watching my relationship with alcohol change,” Godfrey told Maurice Benard during his State of Mind YouTube series in 2021.
Thankfully, Godfrey later got answers, revealing (via People Magazine) that she was diagnosed with “borderpolar,” in late 2019, a condition that describes someone with both bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. “I had been struggling for so long, and I knew I wasn’t okay. Even though it was a big, awful pill to swallow, I was relieved to finally have an answer,” she stated. Now, the “Days of Our Lives” star reveals that through medication, therapy, and a support system that includes friends and family, she is happy and healthy again. She’s also been very candid about her struggles in hopes of helping others who may be dealing with similar issues.
This is only one of the hurdles that Godfrey has overcome in her life. The actress has proven she’s a true survivor.
