Carrie Fisher wore glitter in her hair. When I said I liked it, she ran her fingers through it and lobbed a handful at me. #TheGreatestpic.twitter.com/T7NWGdJp8w

I’m pretty open about being in recovery; I’ve been more circumspect about mental illness. In honor of Carrie Fisher: I’m bipolar, too.

If we want to honor Carrie Fisher’s legacy, let’s work to destigmatize mental illness in ways both big and small. It’s up to us. ❤️
