Catherine Zeta-Jones

“This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them. If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help.” -Catherine Zeta-Jones

Beautifully said- I couldn't agree more! 

Replace Bipolar II with Bipolar I and I could've said it!

Marilyn Monroe

This blonde bombshell beauty was said to have had Bipolar Disorder.

“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
- Marilyn Monroe

That is one of my all time favorite quotes- Maybe because I can relate...
