A picture of my family

 My family is always there for me when I get sick. It took a long time for them to understand the illness and how my Health Cards treatment works- they used to use everyday logic to try and help= Julie, you have a lot to be thankful for. Why are you so unhappy!  etc.

Now they are my biggest support. When I get sick, my mom and brother get on the phone and check in with each other and then call me a lot to make sure I’m ok. I call it the bipolar hot line!

I have information for family members in all of my books. They have to know about this illness as much as we do.  My wonderful nephew is six – we talk about depression when I’m having a tough day!
