Bipolar and surviving – A Blog on Mental Illness

“Bipolar and surviving” (www.bipolarandsurviving.com) is a new blog dedicated to discussing topics of mental illness.


Bipolar and surviving

After writing much about mental illness on Composer’s Toolbox, I decided that it was time to create a website completely devoted to the topic of mental illness.

The goal is to reach those with mental illness, or those who are affected by it, and share hope despite the struggles day-in and day-out.

It is strange how mental positivity is valued in our society, how happiness and satisfaction are craved after, and how we want prosperity and joy in each moment. Yet, under this lies a reluctance to discuss “negative” things–illness, sadness, anger, mood swings, psychosis, and other symptoms many of the people around us deal with each day, all the while keeping those dark secrets just that–secrets.

Things don’t have to be so dark. We can share our stories with each other, whether we are mentally ill or not, and create a more inclusive, healthier society. By valuing open discussion and seeking to understand, and not necessarily seeking to have our opinion understood, we are able to create a more welcoming, compassionate, and open society where we can all be who we really are without fear of judgment.

Don’t forget to treat everyone with kindness; everyone is fighting hard against something and for many of us, that is mental illness. This blog aims to bring hope and foster kindness by exposing the reality of mental illness, and how life can be beautiful in spite–and sometimes because–of it.

Please consider following “Bipolar and surviving” on Facebook and Twitter. I would greatly appreciate you helping to spread the reach of the blog, since the goal is to create more discussions on mental illness that propel us forward as a society.
