Bipolar Depression & Suicide—Gone Too Soon
No matter how broken bipolar depression makes you feel, there is ALWAYS hope for recovery

By Melody Moezzi


I first heard from Mary in April. A fellow mental health advocate, she had just read my latest book and wanted me to speak to her community about my experiences living with bipolar disorder, a condition we shared in common.

In July, when I went to speak at an event she had all but single-handedly organized—a beautiful space, a fantastic audience, standing room only, tons of books sold, a hit all around—we met for the first time. During dinner, I discovered that we shared far more than a diagnosis. Both writers and activists with a penchant for wit and sarcasm, we became fast friends.
