We were approached by Paul English, an entrepreneur living a very successful life, in spite of the fact that he has bipolar disorder. He asked if DBSA Boston had members who would like to tell their stories. I was very excited, because fighting stigma has been one of my goals, ever since my daughter was diagnosed.
So many of our leadership and volunteers are living full lives, in spite of their diagnoses. Mary, our current President, and Meach, our office manager, as well as Paul English himself, have their interviews recorded, along with others telling their stories. They are inspirational and worth listening to. See their interviews on the Bipolar Social Group site.
