Flyer A standard size, horizontal flyer. Will fit perfectly into a
#10 business envelope. Heavy white paper (not the flimsy paper
some flyers are made of) and colorful
illustrations.
Inside of flyer: Hi! I’m Maxy! I
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
I never
“went crazy”. My life didn’t end when I was diagnosed with
bipolar disorder. In fact, that’s when it go lots better. Will you ever go crazy? Not possible,
because there’s nowhere to go. Look real close, and you’ll
see. There’s no “crazy” vs. “sane”. There’s only good
people, each with our own problems: mental, emotional, or
whatever. Maybe we get depressed sometimes. Maybe we think
thoughts we don‘t really want to think or do things we don’t
really want to do. And that’s true about each and every one of
us. I never
“went crazy”. I had bipolar genes long before I was born. I
inherited them. My bipolar genes don’t make me a bad person. Little by
little, my bipolar genes made my brain get sick, the same way
diabetic genes make some people get diabetic. Then I started
taking medicine, and now I’m a lot better. I’m so glad I was
diagnosed! Only a few
people know I’ve been diagnosed mentally ill, because I’m just
— people, part of the human family. I don’t walk different or
talk different. I’m the same as you, a person with loves and
fears and hopes and joys. All of us
people are in this world together. Let’s get together and help
each other feel better and be happier. Don’t
limit your love! Don’t cut
our human family into “crazy” and “sane”. There’s no
such division. There are no “manic-depressives”. There are no
“schizophrenics” either. We’re all just people who need each
other’s love. I never “went crazy”, and neither
will you. Let’s all live together. Let’s all love together. For
