Catherine Zeta Jones bravely announced her bi-polar II disorder diagnosis to the public via People last year, and admits that things haven’t always been easy since then.

“It’s been an intense time, in good ways and bad,” Catherine told InStyle in an interview for their December issue.  “You find out who you really are and who you’re married to. You find things inside yourself you never imagined were there.”

Catherine, 43, tells the magazine that the best thing she did was stop going online because she is “the sort of person who will just look for the negative,” and the things people have to say can be “painful.”

“[My husband] Michael [Douglas] can’t really understand it, but that is the way I am. With my bipolar thing, that’s poison. So I just stopped. Cold turkey. And it’s so liberating.”

Catherine hopes that her going public with her diagnosis will help remove the “stigma” attached to the disorder; “I’m not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops, but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow suffers will know it is completely controllable.”

Here’s to hoping her honesty about the whole thing will help others.
