I honor my husband. We have been through quite a lot, but we're making it through. We've finally figured out what it takes to have a happy marriage despite mental illness. Thank you for your trust in me, that I'm truly trying to help when bipolar gets a grip on you. And thank you for fighting your illness so valiantly.
Don't be embarassed. You are never alone.
A disability is what you have, not who you are! You are loved and wanted. Realize your talents and be thankful for you gifts. I am thankful for the gift of you everyday, no matter what!
This is to honor my sister-in-law Heather in her battle with her Bipolar Disorder. I pray she finds happiness in this world and knows that she is loved.
Even though sometimes things in life are hard, DO NOT GIVE UP! You can do it! There are many students like me who keep studying and working hard to find solutions to situations, but for true success we need to work together. Through communal effort we can do it! I encourage you to love yourself and seek help when you feel you need it. Many people like me care about you. Take care. Sincerely, Claudia
iam ok i live life to the full 23 years with bi polar and i send love and hope to fellow sufferers
I dedicate this post to my true love who is battling bipolar disorder; she left me last week because she said I was trying to control her and has been highly combative; All I can do is pray and hope! I will become very active now with any support I can give or receive! God Bless!
In memory of Al, a truly amazing guy. Bipolar stole his life in June 2011. I knew nothing of Bipolar until it was too late, I wish I had understood.
I can only imagine the suffering he faced alone but now he has peace. x
In memory of a very special soul and friend, Jeret "Speedy" Peterson. Speedy was an amazing young man, with boundless talent, energy, intelligence and love for his family and friends. He suffered the pain of the disease of bipolar disorder. He won a Silver Medal in 2010 in Vancouver in Freestyle Skiing. No one before or since has even attempted his very very difficult "Hurricane" jump. Speedy, you were a special, one of a kind human being. We hope you are now at peace and that you and Stephen have reunited in heaven. We know you'll keep the skiing and the music going for all of the others there with you. We love you and you are missed by all you knew while you were here on earth!!
I dedicate this moment to my dear friend, Mike, who committed suicide in 1998. Neither I nor his family knew that he had Bipolar Disorder until after reading his journals and noting his past behavior. I was released from one of numerous inpatient treatments for my Bipolar Disorder only weeks before Mike's death. The guilt of not being able to help him haunts me to this day. I encourage anyone who is unsure of their own mental status to get help, to not be ashamed and to reach out. It could save your life.
