In this episode of Tell Us A Story, Erica Duffy, Development Director for the Adams County Library System, shares a deeply personal journey through being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and then living with that diagnosis. She reflects forward and backward in her life story to see not only the challenges, but the positive changes she has been able to make for herself and others. This is a story of struggle, challenge, determination, hope, and strength, but it is not an easy story.
