Against All Odds

| I am open about my illness. I cannot talk about my life
without mentioning my illness. The most liberating experience was when I
applied for a job. I took a deep breath and said " I was just
released from a mental hospital, I am manic depressive." The clerk
extended her hand and said " me too. " To be accepted
regardless of my diagnosis helps me feel better about myself.
