“It became a point where I wanted to die. I didn’t have any reasons to live. Maybe it’s selfish to say that, but I was not excited about anything. Then you have to find back your self-esteem. And then, slowly, every piece of yourself becomes precious again.” —Jean Claude Van Damme on his rapid cycling bipolar disorder and cocaine addiction.

Wow. I did not know this about Jean Claude Van Damme. Cool. I’ve always respected his acting and… and I think he’s damned sexy! This video is amazing, I’ve watched it several times. It fits right along with my next blog post about courage and self-esteem. Thanks Sandy.

Sandy, I’m so sorry you’re going through this tough cycle again. Hang in there, Kiddo. You and your badass self can knock this sucka out.
