Story topics: bi-polar, daughter

Your film spoke to my heart.  I’ve never written anyone about a movie before. I have a daughter who was diagnosed with bi-polar illness 10 years ago.  She is also extremely creative and has written and recorded some songs that are quite good.  We cried and we laughed when we watched together.  Thank you.

Story topics: daughter, symptoms

Our 30 year old daughter has episodes of depression, paranoia, conspiracy, and the feeling she is being controlled by others. She also has fits of rage. She will rarely discuss her symptoms, and will not, on her own seek professional help, medical or otherwise.

Our whole family is deeply affected by whatever is wrong with her.  Thank you for making your film.  We saw it today.  I think it’s time for our family to go out and find a support group and other families so that we can help our daughter get treatment.  Thank you.
