Frankly Facing Bipolar Disorder

Let’s face it, those of us with bipolar disorder, addiction problems, and other mental disorders have been thrown a mixed bag from the big guy upstairs. On one hand, our illnesses are less than ideal. On the other hand, they provide us with skills and powers that many people would love to have! The creative power and endless energy of a person with mild mania is an amazing thing to watch. Having bipolar disorder provides an opportunity to view the world through a unique set of lens. This site was designed for those people with these special glasses. I hope this serves as a place where those afflicted with this great conundrum of advantage and suffering can find strength and hope through the stories and experiences of each other.

Flipping The Script

This forum was made, in part, to be used as a tool for those with bipolar illness to get together and change the general population’s view of this illness. People today flippantly throw around the phrase "He or she must be bipolar" with little regard or understanding of the gravity of the illness. When celebrities have melt downs on national television, many people are not aware that most of these people were, and still are, suffering from grave mental illnesses. This website and The Forum is the perfect place to raise awareness as to the seriousness of this disease. The stigma with mental illness has been around far too long, now we can do something about it. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND GET YOUR IDEAS ON HOW TO GET PEOPLE ON BOARD TO RAISE BIPOLAR AWARENESS.
