I’m stealing this interview with Stephen Fry from my friend, Evelyn’s site, because Mr. Fry is an eloquent, sincere spokesman for bringing mental illness out of the hidey-holes. If you’ve not seen his documentary, The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive, I highly recommend it.

STALKING STEPHEN FRY ACROSS THE GLOBE!
Oct 17, 2012 @ 05:32:18
I just love Stephen. His documentary should be required viewing for anyone with Bipolar or who knows someone who is. I wish he would do a follow-up, too.
Hope you’re doing well!

It’s always nice to see “one of us” doing well.

Can’t believe I have never even heard of Fry’s documntary. Damn, I need to see it! Thank you so much for sharing this, Sandy.
Hugs,
Kathy

If you ever have an hour to spare, the link will take you to Part One. Then you can easily view Part Two whenever.

I love Stephen Fry- he lives near us and is an avid supporter of our local football team!! Think his documentary is fabulous and he is so brave to talk so openly about his experiences.

Your neighbor!? I’m so jealous.

Not quite my neighbour, but this is his home town!!
