32 – The Big One

I was diagnosed with bipolar and schizoaffective disorder about 22 years ago. I lost my wife to bipolar disorder several years ago, and I think about her every day. I have been in a state hospital, but I am now in a group home in the community. I like sketching, painting, and photography. I have training in art appreciation. I formerly worked as an architect many years ago, before I became disabled. Since then, I have taught myself to sketch. I have had a lot of health problems recently and my drawings have really helped me get through the tough times, especially when I’m in the hospital all alone. I would love to one day be a cartoonist.
