The Icarus Project

The Icarus Project is a community focused website that approaches bipolar disorder as a “dangerous gift.” Their site shares, “The Icarus Project is creating a new culture and language that resonates with our actual experiences of “mental illness” rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework. We are a non-profit community based website, support network, and underground media project created by and for people struggling with bipolar disorder and other dangerous gifts that are commonly labeled as mental illnesses. We believe that when we learn to take care of ourselves, the intertwined threads of madness and creativity can be tools of inspiration and hope in a repressed and damaged world.” View the Icarus Project
