Bipolar disorder has many faces, emotions and actions. Those of happiness or sadness, elated or desperate and destructive, fully energized or total exhaustion. Sometimes it can be so smart, clever and creative, and can even hold down a great 40 hour a week job, and even convince others they are at the top of their game. But it can also scare people, drain bank accounts, get them into severe debt fast, lose jobs, homes and drive away friends, family and loved ones. In some of the most severe cases, it can even bring on the voices of heaven or hell.
I myself live with Bipolar II, a less severe form, but nevertheless just as debilitating as Bipolar I. So for those of you out there who live with Bipolar, NAMI and bp Magazine has a great and very informative article entitled, "The many faces & facets of bp," written by Michelle Roberts. I suggest this reading for anyone who is dealing with a mental disorder, whether personally or you know someone who struggles from a mental disorder. And if not, I still suggest you read this article because at some point you have dealt with someone who had/has a mental disorder and may not even be aware, so please read on. For more information on Mental Illness, click on any of the links on my page. There you can find tons of resources such as books, tapes, tests, support groups, medications, tools and assistance for living with a mental illness.
