We're doing most of our posts on our Psych Central blog, Bipolar Beat. The only thing here that gets updated on a regular basis is the Bipolar Stories and Insights area, which offers a place for people to post their stories and read about others who live with bipolar. We really need to transition this site over to a full-fledged Bipolar Stories site, but time and resources are slim right now. I will post something on the opening page to let people know. Thanks for calling this to our attention. Hi, Dennis–

Not only do I deal with Bipolar, I also deal with Social Anxiety, PTSD and Type 2 Diabetes. So in saying that by being open about what I deal with, not only will I help myself but I will help others fully recognize that they are not crazy and weird.

Though I haven't taken the time to read the entries (though I hope to read some of them soon), I am impressed by the number of entries, and the international representation of ideas. I'm only beginning to understand the impact that stigma has had on my life - an impact that certainly rivals, if not eclipses, my struggle with Bipolar Disorder. Thank you for this post.
