I agree; I thought this depiction was great!

I suffer from bipolar affective disorder myself and am very stable on my medication, it was really refreshing to see the illness being presented in the way that you have since it is usually used as a "character flaw" to add to the plot in most literature. I appreciate that my illness has had a large affect on my life (and those who are close to me) but it does not define me, and I am incredibly proud to be where I am right now. The support I have from my friends and family is invaluable, sometimes it's hard to convey how much I am appreciative of those who are there for me, so I'm sure your support to the person close to you is also really really important x
