“I quickly deteriorated and curled up into the foetal position on the stairs of my house. I stayed there for two days.
My husband took me to the doctor, who said that I was extremely depressed and referred me to a clinic. At the time of my admission I was catatonic. I remained in the clinic for nine months.”

“Over the years I learnt to differentiate between sadness and bipolar depression.
Receiving the help and support from doctors, my husband, my family and therapy, I have a very positive way of thinking now. I am finally enjoying myself!”
