"I was hospitalized earlier this semester after having a manic episode. I was unable to sleep or function, really. At the hospital, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and am now in treatment and on medication. My doctors were and still are hesitant about me sharing this information with other people. But the people in my hall know about it, as do my friends. I'm not afraid to share it. I've found only a supportive community here in the face of all this. And I think it's important to have this dialogue on campus--to share this information, to talk about it, to learn about it. That's the only way to fight the stigma."
