As bipolar myself, undiagnosed for two decades or more, now 'stable' (no, I am not 'normal') for several years, I was delighted to listen to this podcast. One thing that got me through the initial shock of diagnosis, was a book called 'Not on your own'. That made me realise that I was not, am not a freak of nature, the only one, like Frankenstein's monster. I was NOT alone. I have survived, thrived even, despite of, or perhaps because of my bipolar disorder. Thank you for your candour.
