Created by Grant Bromley (Genesis Films) and Diane McDaniel. The film follows Diane's real life struggles with bipolar, but also shows how she has coped with the disorder for the past couple years.

That was quite good! You're sixteen?????

I especially like near the beginning where you hear the voices of people saying that she doesn't *seem* sick etc.

Thanks! Yes I (Grant) am 16! It was a very challenging short film to make, but it was worth the hard work making this video to hopefully help educate those that don't have the disorder, or to help those that do have it.

Diane and I are glad that you enjoyed it!

I have lived with bipolar for over 20 years now, I have now gone the past 5 years with no meds or doctor visits. Except for not being able to sleep well I feel pretty good for the most part. Exercise has always been a great venue to "quiet" my mind, I love to go on long walks or ride my bike several miles. Just because you have this illness doesn't mean you have to "become" the illness! To live is to suffer...and to survive is to find meaning in the suffering!

Excellent video. Thanks very much for the Bible verses. Your story is very inspirational and Christ glorifying. I found it a great blessing. I live in Scotland

This video hits home. I suffer from the same disorder i have the physical scars on my wrist and my soul. I am not ashamed...i dont hide my scars. I died by my own hand for 3 mins and they brought me back. I fight to live normally everyday....

I also have bipolar. I'm 15, and students and teachers alike are always either telling me to stop playing the system, or calling me a 'fucking nutter' in the librarians words. Thanks for making this video, it was really good to see someone likeminded.
