The International Bipolar Foundation did all of the hard work for us. It’s not easy to create a day just for those of us with bipolar disorder, but they have done it! Since today is the day, the best way to show your support is to post on Twitter and facebook using the hashtag
#WorldBipolarDay
Tell your story! Share some encouragement and most of all, let’s help people all over the world feel safe enough to say they have bipolar disorder. Stigma ends when the numbers get so high they can no longer be ignored.
I’m not ashamed to have bipolar disorder. It’s simply an illness. Nothing more.
There is strength in numbers and wow, there are a lot of us with bipolar disorder.
Forza!
