admin I’d like to say a very special thank you to Bill Birdsall for submitting his story. The length prevents it from being posted in its entirety, so he has been kind enough to submit it as a PDF file. His story is well-worth the time it takes to download and read through it. Here is the first paragraph:
The consequences of untreated manic depressive disorder are mercilessly insidious. On June 26, 2008, on a beautiful, sunny, early summer day I suffered from what my Italian relatives called “una piccolo morte”…a little death. My three and a half year marriage to a woman I was in love with, was by now disintegrating. Both of us, each with two young adult children from previous marriages had settled into my house, now ours, after she sold her house. we were on the cusp of a fresh journey with a life partner, making wonderful plans to savor our new union while enjoying the progress of the four young people we had dedicated much of our lives too.
