Being Bipolar

I have an idea for something I would like to do in the month of February. I typically share my experiences with bipolar disorder, but I can only share what I personally have been through with bipolar I. I would like to be able to share the experiences of others with a variety of types of bipolar disorder. I think this would help to provide more insight into the life of a person with bipolar disorder.

I am asking for volunteers who are willing to share a little bit about their personal struggles with bipolar disorder. You can choose to remain anonymous if you wish. If you choose to volunteer, I will email you a questionnaire to complete. (Don’t worry. I won’t ask too many questions.) You don’t have to answer any question that you don’t want to and you can give as much or as little detail as you want. You don’t have to get personal if you do not feel comfortable doing so. You can also choose to write a short paragraph describing your feelings or experiences.

If you are interested in helping others to understand this disorder or helping those who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, please email beingbipolar@writersbeacon.com and let me know that you would like to be included in this project. If we garner enough interest, February 1st will begin the first annual Being Bipolar Awareness month.

If you would like to help with advertising this event and spreading awareness of bipolar disorder and its effects, email me at the above address. I will be creating a small banner ad linking back to this site. Remember, raising awareness will create a more supportive environment for those of us suffering with a mental illness. Please consider participating.
