There are going to be a lot of new developments on the this site in the next few weeks, and starting Feb. 1st, I think the site will be significantly changed. That's all I can say right now (so tantalizing, right?), but I wanted to put that bug in your ear, as it were. (Ick.)
As for mental health news, here's something uplifting: A former golf pro has baffled health services in Wales after jumping off a bridge 50 times trying to commit suicide. What can be done for her?
Liz Spikol is senior contributing editor of Philadelphia Weekly. She writes the award-winning column The Trouble With Spikol, which began as a chronicle of her struggle with mental illness, and has since expanded into humorous musings on everything from graphic novels to how to use a mop. She also writes the paper's book review column, Lit Gloss. This blog -- named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 by PsychCentral -- is about mental illness policy, news, personal journeys and more.

"...and after 60 jumps, she noticed that her dives were getting more professional.
A local diving instructor came to see her dive and the rest, as they say, is history.
She's now the #1 diver in her age group, worldwide."
And, the swimming helped her hips and she now walks without pain.
(Cue the banjo)
