Amy Salz

Bisexual and Bipolar writer whose honest and open writing delves into mental illness stigma, psychiatric hospitals, medication and recovery

Hello! My name is Amy. I am many things, with bisexual and bipolar being two of the first descriptors that come to mind. But those words do not define me. I am a wife, mother, daughter, writer, friend, aunt, Packer fan, trumpet player, toy fixer, and so many other things. I grew up in small town Wisconsin, attended college in Minnesota, took my first job in Texas, and now live in Jacksonville, Florida with my husband, two kids, and our elderly black lab. Even in the best of times, I struggle with bipolar depression and suicidal thoughts. So upon the advice of my therapist, I started writing a blog to help me cope with all the thoughts and feelings that are involved with being both bipolar and bisexual. Please feel free to email me or meet me on Twitter!
