My 14 yr old nephew is staying with me for two weeks and I want to explain bipolar to him in a way he can understand.

I have a genuine interest in the health and wellbeing of people. After many years working in the insurance industry I have seen what impact illness and ultimately premature death can have on families – the loved ones that are most affected. My blog shares some ideas and suggests supplements etc that may help some people – even helping one person would be deemed as worthwhile – as a success!

I'm a fighter. Childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse caused Complex, Chronic PTSD in my late twenties. I also have Bipolar Disorder, Dissociative Disorder, and ADHD. As grim as it might sound, I'm actually doing well. I have a little gem of a girl and I write write write--my passion. I'm also in school to be a CNA. Main thing I've learned so far? You have to go into the dark in order to see the light, that's where you will find your grace.
