J'y pense et puis j'oublie. A contemporary musing on people, the universe, music, art, life, hardship, mental illness and triumph. Friday, May 1, 2015. May is Mental Health Month. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003 in a rather traumatic way. Co-workers made plans with me to get together for dinner, and when I went to our meeting spot, it was an intervention. These are my first steps of getting involved. I finally feel strong enough to do so. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

J'y pense et puis j'oublie. A contemporary musing on people, the universe, music, art, life, hardship, mental illness and triumph. Thursday, May 21, 2015. A lot of people don't take mental illness seriously, and I just don't know why that is.
