		<description>Dear Julie,

Thank you for writing &#039;getting it done with you&#039;re depressed&#039;. I am a bipolar , 22, year old female .


Reading your book gave me great confidence and consolation that someone understood exactly how i felt.  I teared up reading the first few chapters, because I felt I was no longer alone. 


I have always felt so misunderstood and confused. This book made me examine my manic depression in a different lens.  Thank you for your honesty and passing your experience on to others. Bless you.

Hi Mindy, 

Thanks for your kind words. I had the same experience when I finally realized that there is absolutly wrong with me- I have an illness that makes me different- once I learned to separate that part of me from the non ill me, I changed forever.  Now I&#039;m ready for the terrible down swings and am able to keep going until they are done! 

Things can definitely get better- the mood swings can get a lot shorter. When you learn to avoid the things and people who cause mood swings in your life- things can get a LOT better.
