This documentary is beautiful and moving...it also is a very good depiction of what the extremes of bp1 can be like. Highly recommended.

Seriously, could clear up some misconceptions.

I loved the movie! It was a bit upsetting to me in the sense that his bp was (is) more severe than mine, but it was a harsh reminder that many times the illness gets progressively worse. The thought of my illness getting to that point was worrisome for me. I really loved the story though.

Exactly, because this disorder does happen in differing severities. Fact.

Great film.
However, I just love his music.When I hear his songs and music I don't primarily think of the Bipolar.It is a touching film but his songs are way beyond the labels he is placed under as an ill person.
Some very touching scenes.
Ultimately it's his music that wins.

It's an independent film. Netflix would most likely have it if you subscribe to it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
