The Mess – Living with bi-polar diagnosis. Here is one person’s attempt to communicate the experience as a video. It was a finalist in the Homespun Yarns 2017 film competition. The British web site Channel4 features an interview with Ellice Stevens.

We at San Diego Free Press love watching all kinds of video. Those short visual stories entertain, inform, and agitate in a way completely different from the written word.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.

Thank you for this. As a person who has lived with this disorder most of my life, I think this video will be something I can share with others who do not understand why we sometimes do what we do.
