Mental Illness does not define someone! It's nothing more than a diagnosis. Bipolar Disorder is an illness I have; it in no way defines who I am! There are so many things in my life that define me; Bipolar is not one of them! There is a huge stigma that society attaches to mental illness. For someone to feel ashamed of an illness they have due to society’s misconceptions is in no way acceptable. Read about my own personal experiences with Bipolar Disorder and join me in KISSING STIGMA GOODBYE!

NAMIWalks!!
It is that time again... time for the NAMI Walk in Baltimore. It will be held at the inner harbor on Saturday May 18th with check in starting at 10am and the walk starting at 11am. I would love to have anyone from the Baltimore area walk with me on the Kissing Stigma Goodbye Walk Team. The web address to the team site is http://namiwalks.nami.org/kissingstigmagoodbye. On that page you can sign up to walk with the team or make a donation to NAMI on behalf of the Kissing Stigma Goodbye walk team. I will post more about who NAMI is and what they do over the weekend. They are a fantastic organization.
