welcome

i have decided to start this blog for many reasons, from raising awareness of mental illness to distracting myself from the bipolar disorder that i suffer from. i hope to share my experiences with you and also learn about other mental illnesses from other sufferers and the effect it has on their lives.

for those of you with a mental illness i hope to educate the community about conditions that very few people understand, whether by their own choice or because of the stigma still associated with medical conditions that effect the brain.

i am by no means a doctor, physcologist or physciatrist, just someone that has to live with my medical condition everyday and wanting to make a difference.

i will add to this post on a regular basis and hope that it makes a difference to peoples lives and the way mental illness is perceived in the community.
