Bi-polar Disorder--Friend or Foe? [13+] 3rd place Bipolar Editorial Contest |
Hi, Miss Pat. First of all, let me wish you a very happy birthday. You make the WDC shine with your contributions and I am glad to know you. Message Conveyed Before coming to WDC, I was not aware of bipolar disorder. I asked many other people in my area; they were unaware too. As per them, the constant mood fluctuations is because of the short-tempered nature of the person. I'm sure people here, in my circle, are still unaware about the disease or the fact that t can be controlled by medication. After reading this pieces I felt that your children are lucky to have parents like you. The message that you conveyed is clear in the piece. It explains your fear for children. Although I must confess I was confused by the title. I thought you were going to show some positive side of the bipolar disorder too. Language and Grammar The words you have written are soulful. I can see that this piece is very personal. It takes a lot of courage to put your thoughts in words and bare your problems to the world. The piece is very well-edited. There was only a small error as per me. In the phrase my husband and I, the "I" should be me. (It's been extremely difficult for me.) Other thoughts and Suggestions This piece was written in 2008. I hope things have grown better now. I'm proud to count you as a friend and guide. My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
