Ruby Wax: What's so funny about mental illness?

Being able to have humor mixed in with mental illness is a must. Laughter and humor I find helps with breaking down walls of any kind.

Stigma is harmful for all. 

Bring Change 2 Mind

The stigma of bipolar and any mental illness is so great.  There are so many who are in the public eye who have started to speak out about this.  Which is so great.  It is my hope that this will help to change the way those, who like me, live daily with bipolar.  That it is nothing like an illness that you take this for drug for ten days and you'll be healthy.

It had been a journey to find what it is to be me once again.  In finding who I am as a woman with bipolar and how to like in what I call my normal.  If there is such a thing as normal.

Connection between the gut and bacteria

I wonder.

Life is.....

What will be of this life
Will there be anything that will 
Be of lasting memories
What moments are lasting
Moments that are not
What joy will there be
In life that is well lived
What is a well lived life
Life that is not well lived
Who is it that say that life 
Well lived
Not well lived
Faith in God
Faith in anything
Peace and love
Joy or sorrow
Lost or found
What moments define one
That makes us
Good or bad
Loving or not
