We have all seen awareness ribbons and the most well known one is pink which is awareness for breast cancer. I started searching to find what (if any) awareness color was for mental illness. Here's what I found after searching many websites:
Ribbon Awareness Colors Gray/Silver Mental Illness (alternative color is green) Green Bipolar Depression Childhood Depression Manic Depression Orange Self Injury

I've seen those, although I wouldn't know where to get one.
There's even a Bipolar Awareness week in February, can't remember exactly which week though. Heck, I wish mental illness had its own month, like breast cancer awareness---Lord knows there are more people like us than people with breast cancer, even though that too is a worthy cause and deserves the publicity it gets.

I had no idea!
 I did just see a commercial on CBS with NCIS actor Mark Harmon (swoon) about bipolar disorder awareness. It made me happy to see it. |

I had looked up the ribbons before but forgot. I think that silver is an awesome color (rather than gray.) A ribbon made with a silver ribbon and a green ribbon would be beautiful, awareness of both! Orange is a nice bright color. I need to get some ribbons to wear. Oct 4th was bipolar awarness day.

Why not try a shop that sells sewing goods, like zips and material and so forth? Thats where I get mine coz they sell ribbons in rolls. All I need to do is cut it, and pin to my top
