Mr. Happy as happy can be

No, I’m not manic Not that I think at least.

I’m just so happy and comforted by all the projects that are growing in the Muslim mental health field.

When I first got bipolar, I searched endlessly but didn’t find any Muslim support. Well times have changed, for the better alhumdulillah.

Here’s a list of online resources and lovely links you wanna facebook (click on their names for more info):
