I saw you speak and met you afterward a year or so ago. Is there a better way to look you up for your tour spots than this? Thank you for your sincerity and helping bring some of us with Bipolar together. We can learn so much from one another. Emily Hi Julie,

I thought when he did not listen he was being stubborn but now I know it's a sign of mania coming on. That's probably how I can help him see so he can check his medication and his sleep.

I wish more people would try. Be sure and thank him for me and the rest of us...when he hears other people talking who *don't* "get it", he might be able to help correct misconceptions and biases.
