Thank You Demi and Catherine!

The most recent People magazine, in case you haven't seen it, features interviews with Demi Levato, the singing teen sensation, and Catherine Zeta Jones, actress, divulging their personal struggles with bipolar disorder.  Finally!  Beautiful, smart, successful women sharing their secret illnesses with the world, to my applause and I am sure yours as well!  I bought the magazine, which I never do, so I could share the articles with Caroline and my other girls.  Hopefully more public figures will step forward and share their own journeys with bipolar disorder.  Thank you!!!

  4. I haven't decided if I'm thrilled about it, or annoyed. I feel like the articles in magazines are good, although the television blurbs make bipolar out to be scary or something to be ashamed of. The tone of voice and the questions frustrate me for some reason. I AM very glad that the word bipolar is being tamed a bit, rather than something horrifying, scary, or negative.
