Take Me as I Am, Whoever I Am

This episode broke my heart. I am in the low of my mental illness right now and I feel suffocated by my own thoughts and I haven't seen depiction of my own thoughts so well displayed. This was very well done. I feel a little less alone.

What a beautiful and raw performance from Anne Hathaway. Had me in tears. And the poignant moment between her character and her coworker--INCREDIBLE! I've known people with bipolar, have a brother with it and it's not pretty or fun to watch and recognize when the episodes are coming. This was not overly done, not overly glib, just right.

There is so much to be said about this episode. Anne's performance is incredible. Her character's pain is palpable. I cried and cried. This episode was so moving. Mental illness is often, tragically, ignored because of the stigma that goes with it. Another brilliant performance by the beautiful Anne. Thank you for being so transparent and honest. I'm officially hooked on this show. Wow.

I've seen a lot of movies and tv shows that involved mental illness and bipolar disorder, but this? The euphoria and allure of manic episodes, Anne displayed these emotions flawlessly.

I didn't expect it like the very characters in this episode, Hathaway (haters look away now) is outstanding in a very difficult role. The references to Rita Hayworth, who struggled with mental illness and heartbreak, are also spot on,Great to see REAL people, with their struggles and not wankerish godlike folk pulIulating. Hope more like this to come!!!
