Your courage allows you to share these things, kudos to you all!
I want to share a story, but it doesn't belong to me and will have to wait for another time.
Needing to learn more about Bi Polar, I just recently downloaded a BBC movie/special which IMO gave a very good portrayal. It's called Stephen Fry: the secret Life of the manic depressive. If any of you get the chance to see it, I'd like to know what you think.
