I am so proud of the way ABC new reported this and the dignity and elegance with which Catherine Zeta Jones handled it. I hope the media continues to see Bipolar-ism in this fashion. To see such a big star be so honest with her diagnosis, should help those of us that struggle with the stigmatism of mental illness, hold our heads a little higher. So, my "box" opens a little further. Bi-Polar II is my most recent diagnosis. I have only seen this psychiatrist once, so this is new. But, for the first time, things are making sense and coming together. I am on a new med. I myself have been in the hospital four times in the past year. Trying to tune things up. I am hoping we have found the right "gear". But that is what the hospital is for. Just like any other life long illness, sometimes the medications get out of balance or stress affects it and we need a "tune" up. More later on what has brought me to this point in my life. Without God and my family, I wouldn't be here. So I will keep Praising Him Thru The Storm...
