Podcast: Conversations with Sherri- Pt 1 MANIA
June 15, 2009 5:50 pm Mania, PodcastsI am excited to post my new bipolarhappens.com podcast series called Conversations with Sherri.
Sherri is a dear friend of mine who has bipolar I. She has been in an off and on manic/psychotic episode for over two years- and of course, there is a lot of depression mixed in there as well. In this opening podcast, Sherri and I talk about her bipolar disorder one history as well as her experiences of mania. She is such an honest and funny person! Our next conversation is on benzodiazapine addiction – Sherri just got off a 20 year Klonopin habit. No kidding. She’s a rock star.
I think you will really enjoy and be enthralled by this candid and very informative conversation about mania and all of it’s symptoms and troubles.
Please do leave your comments on ourconversation and what you would like us to talk about in the future. After the Klonopin conversation- we will discuss Sherri’s hospital stays. 12 in all!
Yes, she is a bipolar superstar. She keeps going no matter what.
Julie

I loved the podcast with Sherry. I find that I talk a lot with my friends about my Bipolar Disorder and it was good to know that others do too. The podcast also reminded me that I’m doing well with my impulse control even if I can’t seem to control my mind – I don’t act on all those wild ideas that I have. It was reassuring to hear that I’m not the only one that can’t read a book through. I thought I was the only one. I hoard magazines because I can keep my attention long enough to read the articles but your books are the only books I’ve been able to read and actually absorb since my 13-year-old son was born. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Melissa, I will just send Sherri your comment. She will love it! I will post part two of our conversation next week. We talk about klonopin.
She is doing well- her doctor has lowered the zyprexa and the real Sherri is shining through! Julie

Hi Julie,
I appreciate your blog and informative emails. I don’t have the money right now to get your books/health cards.
I’m experiencing what may be a manic episode. According to my mom she feels that I’m on my way up. I should tell you that I was diagnosed at 17 with Bipolar/Manic Depression and I’m almost 51 years old (female).
I didn’t realize you had PODCASTS available. I must have read it in your email newsletters but it didn’t register until now.
I’ll look in your archives to try to get more information about mania. I also promised my mom I would communicate with my doctor today.
I identified so much with Sherri’s story-especially the part about the magazine hoarding! Wow-what an AHA moment for me!
Thanks so much for doing what you do. It’s a lifeline to me.
Take care, Laura
