Oh wow! Great link. Finally people are starting to realize the fact that the people who suffer aren't confined to the weirdos on street corners that talk to themselves & proclaim the end of the world. We are all real people that don't deserve to be treated differently.

This is awesome. I wish more well known people would come forward and share their BP disorder with the public.
Thank you SunAngel

It is a stigma but at this point I don't care. I'm doing the best I can personally and I've worked with NIMH giving lectures & presentations to the community, etc. I'm not a bi-polar poster girl and I really don't expect people to understand it. I am a retired psych nurse!

I was just talking about the stigma yesterday with a fellow student who is a chaplain in the local mental hospital. He said he found the people to be sensitive and intelligent and he learned more from them than he had learned from anyone in a long time.
Of course, I just talked about my daughter working in the same hospital, and kept my mouth shut about my bipolar. That stigma is just too big for me to handle. I keep saying I'm coming out of the closet, but I think I have lost the key, and locked myself in.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
