Pardon My Bipolar

Hi!

My name is Kimberley Light and I would like to take you on a journey of my reccuring descent in and out of the personal hell they call bipolar.

Spanning from 1989 to the present day I have had the most extraordinary journey, years of stable mental health and productivity which have been massacred by bouts of bipolar episodes both depresssive and manic.

Manic depression can be described as a state of mind which is beyond your control, it is like a destructive typhoon that attacks your life destroying it on all levels so again and again one has to brush off the debris and piece together ones life. The older you get the harder it becomes to muster up the strengh and positive mental attitude to beat the carnage of the wreckage an episode thrusts upon you.

I hope in sharing my story,creative thoughts, artwork and poetry I can in some way help or ease the pain of this illness which is suprisingly more common than we think. Mental illness affects us all at some stage in our life wheather it be grieving for the loss of a loved one or a stress induced sleepless nights. The stigma that is attached must be broken down through education and I hope my honesty on the subject can enlighten and break down some of the negative connotations.

Above all I hope this cathartic journey can bring some peace, light , love, harmony and laughter to both myself and those who wish to share.

Love,

Kimberley x
