Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I am the woman who sits next to you in church and participates in church activities and groups. I am the friendly lady who exercises beside you at the pool and at the YMCA. I am the woman who you see going to the movies with my friends or having coffee at the local restaurant. I am the woman who has Bi-Polar disorder, a form of mental illness.
