Via The Trouble With Spikol (great mental health blog!):
Hungarian mental health stakeholders from the group Sötét Nappalok, Fényes Éjszakák Egyesület (Darkest Days, Brightest Nights Society) are raising bipolar disorder public awareness by riding a rollercoaster for 10 days straight. When they finish on July 28 they’ll have broken a world record as well as brought international attention to the much-misunderstood illness. Rollercoaster rides of depression and hypo/mania, cycling over and over; a good metaphor for the illness as well as a way into a world record.
SNFE named itself after the book Darkest Days, Brightest Nights, an inspiring personal story of coping with bipolar by Kevin Jackson. To honour their efforts, why not check it out of your local library or buy a copy? Make yourself more aware of a positive view. For extra fun, read it on a rollercoaster!
