A BiPolar Reality

About Me

Greetings and Thank You for looking at my blog. My name is d’Philip (pronounced “dee-fill-up”), I am the father of three children, have been happily married for 13 years, I live in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois and I am and always have been a writer. I have dabbled with music, video and film; I have been a promoter, manager and producer…but always, throughout my life, I have been a writer. It’s what I do, it’s who I am, understand? Something else I am is a person with BiPolar Disorder (formerly known as “manic depression”), a mental disease that cannot be cured but managed successfully. That’s what this blog is primarily about; living with and managing a bipolar reality. In some ways, working on this blog is a therapeutic process. It helps me put life as it happens in perspective. Sometimes this blog is a platform to expose my work as a writer, a forum to share something creative with others. In any light, this blog is another way for me to feel valued, appreciated and perhaps understood. I hope you enjoy it. d’Philip p.Ville/Ill.<04.15.08>
