Roo was recently diagnosed as bipolar. Last week, she invited people to ask her questions about her diagnosis. She called it “Ask a Nutter.” (I love her for that.)
Her post where she answers the questions and describes what it’s like to live with this diagnosis is truly insightful and moving. I can’t recommend it enough for someone who knows or loves someone with bipolar disorder or for someone who just wants to understand it better.
It’s brave, honest, wrenching, and unselfish.
Roo is amazing. I can’t remember how I discovered her – it was years ago – but her writing has always stunned me with its honesty and beauty. Brave woman.
Isn’t she, though? To me, she feels like someone familiar. Like a kindred spirit, the way I felt when I first discovered you.
I just think this post is a gift. I really do.
Thank you both. I’m touched.
