Tip of the Day
Those of us with mental illness had a fierce advocate in actor and author Carrie Fisher.
She made it OK to be depressed, bipolar, or otherwise mentally ill.
“We have been given a
challenging illness, and there is no other option than to meet those
challenges,” Fisher said. “Think of it as an opportunity to be
heroic – not ‘I survived living in Mosul during an attack’
heroic, but an emotional survival. An opportunity to be a good
example to others who might share our disorder.”

Guardian
