Surviving Bipolar & Sharing My Story: The Journey Begins (Part 1)
Surviving Bipolar is a series about how bipolar has steered my life.

Do you want to go on a journey? Today, you are invited to go on one that involves surviving bipolar disorder. It’s hard to say how long the journey will be because it’s still going.
