Author's note - by Carrie in 'Wishful Drinking' regaring bipolar disorder. I found this so uplifting.

One of the things that baffle me (and there are quite a few) is how there can be so much lingering stigma with regards
to mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder. In my opinion, living with manic depression takes a tremendous amount of balls.
Not unlike a tour of duty in Afghanistan (though the bombs and bullets, in this case, come from the inside). At times being bipolar
can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you're living with this illness and functioning
at all, it's something to be proud of, not ashamed of.

They should issue medals along with the steady stream of medications on has to ingest.
