Anna and Maria get into the who, what, where, when, and why of disclosing your bipolar diagnosis, with a brief detour into some not so hot Janis Joplin takes.
Welcome to anyone joining us from Mental Illness Happy Hour! This is a rebroadcast of our first episode and a good way for us to introduce ourselves! Enjoy, stick around for a while!
For our older listeners, go check out our interview on Mental Illness Happy Hour! We talk about the difficulties of being sisters going through bipolar crises and being the lord sister supporting the other through them, Paul is an incredible interviewer so hopefully we didn’t embarrass ourselves any more than we usually do!
