what bipolar means to me (cont.)

US mental health care: let's make the political the personal

In this video I get back into the “weeds” of the paper I’m using to:

  1. share & better understand my own journey with bipolar (here’s the original post)

  2. ignite conversation about how we can help each other rather than relying on systems to “fix” the challenges of our time

  3. prove I can still be a nerdy academic whene’er I wanna (just gotta make Faye Ogilvie, my middle school language arts/math/Life teacher, proud)

  4. talk some more about my friend Danika’s amazing Substack channel.*

*Danika, totally thinking of you-as-Emily-Dickinson in my weird/wonderful hand-me-down shirt today while hanging out in Pottstown, PA. Can you believe my mom made this shirt back in the 90’s? The cooler a person is, the cooler their mom must be, right? Even if they’re annoying and/or ridiculous at times. Like the rest of us. Wait a minute, are mothers people, too? ;)

speaking of moms, here’s me with the marvelous seamstress/goddess Kathie L.N. Mell when we were both exhausted but she had the good sense to put on a little make-up and wear sunglasses
