I was directed to this blog via following a tribe member of this blogger that posted some sad information …that this blogger Blahpolar is no longer with us … not sure of the details but some friends of the blogger are hosting a remembrance on World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th.

The most frequently used search terms that usher visitors to my blog are: bipolar disorder stereotypes, bipolar stereotypes, negative stereotypes of bipolar disorder, stereotypes about bipolar disorder, negative stereotypes of bipolar, stereotypes of bipolar disorder – and they occur every. single. day. I googled ‘bipolar stereotypes’ and lo and behold, my most visited post ranked first. It’s time to expand on that ole thing.
