Friends: How Do You Cope When Your Friend Has Bipolar

About this ebook
Julia Busquets
I grew up on a property in Orange, Central West. I was privately school educated and, on leaving, went to live in Canberra and started working for Ansett Airlines. Shortly after obtaining this job, I went to work for Ansett in London, where I lived for four years, travelling Europe and the UK. On my return home, I met my ex-husband in the transit lounge at Hong Kong airport. We married six months later. After the marriage broke down, I embarked on obtaining a bachelor of nursing at the University of New England, completing with high distinctions. Although I was offered to do honours, I decided to head straight to Sydney and worked at St. Vincent’s Public Hospital. With my family moving to Newcastle, I left Sydney and went to live in Newcastle. Once settling in Newcastle, I embarked on obtaining a bachelor of law/diploma of legal practice. It was in my first year that I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type I. The year 2007 was an interesting year, and following that year, I struggled to come to terms with my illness and, for majority of the time, have been in denial. After eight years of battling to overcome the stigma and behaviours that creeped up, I came to a point of acceptance and now want to help people on their own journey of living with bipolar disorder. My saving grace is the people who have surrounded me and protected me from judgment, criticism, and stigma.
