Book Synopsis A Memoir of Love and Madness by : Rahla Xenopoulos
Download or read book A Memoir of Love and Madness written by Rahla Xenopoulos and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2011-03-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992, Rahla Xenopoulos was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Despite the devastating diagnosis, she sought education on her affliction. Although she found an abundance of literature on various mental illnesses, none of it seemed applicable to her. This situation inspired her to write a book chronicling her ongoing efforts to come to terms with a disease that is, in effect, a life sentence. The book recounts her upbringing in an eccentric, loving Jewish family, her struggle with bulimia, anorexia and self-mutilation, her attempts at suicide, finding true love and, finally, the ‘crazy, utterly unpredictable experience of giving birth to triplets’. This is neither a self-help book nor a medical guide. Reading this book will not cure anyone; bipolar disorder is a chronic illness. But it did help Rahla - as it will countless others - ‘to understand the rhythm in the cacophony of this condition’.

Book excerpt: An attractive, highly successful Beverly Hills entertainment lawyer, Terri Cheney had been battling debilitating bipolar disorder for the better part of her life—and concealing a pharmacy’s worth of prescription drugs meant to stabilize her moods and make her "normal." In explosive bursts of prose that mirror the devastating mania and extreme despair of her illness, Cheney describes her roller-coaster existence with shocking honesty, giving brilliant voice to the previously unarticulated madness she endured. Brave, electrifying, poignant, and disturbing, Manic does not simply explain bipolar disorder—it takes us into its grasp and does not let go.

Book excerpt: Jill Gebhart Campbell's passion for poetry, writing, and drawing prompted her to write this book, utilizing these creative genres, in order to portray her bipolar illness in a more personal way. It is also a reflection of how the devastating effects of bipolar disorder shaped her life. The author's story is about a young woman's odyssey of triumph and sorrow and her journey to find herself again. Before her diagnosis, she was a beautiful, compassionate young woman who excelled in both athletics and academics. After her diagnosis she gained more than 120 pounds-due to health issues, sick children, psychiatric hospitalizations, and unsuitable medications. She became depressed, self-consumed, and bitter. The debilitating depression and hauntingly real hallucinations forever impacted the way she sees life and how life sees her. Her faith in God proved to be her ultimate anchor through her heart-wrenching circumstances. After admission to solitary confinement, due to hallucinations, she experienced an even more profound depression. "The white walls, barred windows, cold cement floors, and white bedding only exacerbated my feelings of isolation and left me swirling downward in an even deeper depression." However, the Lord's unconditional love has allowed her to walk on the bright side once again. She overcame all the odds to become the woman she longed to be. She has attained the serenity one reaches when they've been to the very end, beyond hope, yet made it back.
Book Synopsis Michelle May Crack by : Michelle May Krack
Download or read book Michelle May Crack written by Michelle May Krack and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer survivors have pink bands. Our troops, yellow ones. Healthy hearts and AIDS awareness is designated with red. White bands typically symbolize peace. Major awareness groups are easily recognizable by their respective colors, which is clearly a positive. But what is the color, where is the cause, who comprises the groups that have an equal level of popularity and advocates for the millions upon millions of people who suffer from mental health issues? Were you aware that the color for mental health is in fact green? Most likely not, as it is a topic not covered in the way that other health issues are. In her first novel, Michelle Krack chronicles her story and continual battle with overcoming bipolar disorder. Readers will learn of the heart-breaking struggles and everyday victories that accompany life from the perspective of a mother of four, sister to three, and above all else- survivor of one. Beginning with her deep family roots in the southern Indiana city of Evansville, Michelle touches on the fears, tears, hilarity, and special moments so near to her heart and some, unfortunately, ever imbedded into her memory. The order in which her tale is presented parallels bipolar disorder, with stories here and there that interrupt what would normally be a traditional reading experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of a Bipolar Ex-Podiatrist has been written to provide hope for other bipolar people. Have you ever wondered who you are and/or why you behave the way you do? The author wondered that for 35 years until he was finally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (BPD). The author was happy to finally have an identity, it also explained his racing thoughts, dramatic mood swings, impulsiveness, impatience, eagerness to be "class clown," and innate intelligence for subjects most lack interest in. The author started to study about fellow bipolars (Patty Duke, Hemingway, Poe, Lincoln, Van Gogh, and Hendrix) and noticed creative faculties conflicted with logical faculties. Hence, he pursued his dreams of writing a poetry anthology, a historical fantasy fiction novel about BPD, and a well-researched, self-help memoir about BPD. The author has overcome an abusive father and others, bankruptcy, and divorce to continually strive for excellence in relationships and career success. He has constantly tried to educate others on how they can overcome any disorder by having faith in a higher power, eating right, exercising, being compliant with their medication regimen, and learning from competent psychiatrists and psychotherapists. Also, surrounding yourself with positive and uplifting people is essential.
