Reblogged this on Ye Olde Bipolar Blog and commented:
If anyone has not seen Of Two Minds, it’s available on Netflix. This is also great for people who want to know what it’s like to live with bipolar disorder.
They are currently working on a documentary called The S Word. No one has ever really made anything that I know of that speaks to survivors of attempts and the stigma that comes with it.
I am so grateful that you a making this film. I dont believe anyone has ever done this before and also focused on the stigma behind it.
I saw Of Two Minds on Netflix and it was the best documentary I’ve ever seen about bipolar disorder.
I have bipolar disorder and am a suicide survivor as well. So…thank you so much for your hard work.
