[QUOTE="Christy, post: 182308, member: 225"] by Marya Hornbacher I have been trying to read books that offer the BiPolar (BP) perspective so that I have a better understanding of my sons moods and what he might be thinking. Unfortunately none are written by 10 year old boys-LOL. I read this book recently and thought, wow, this poor woman is really troubled. I read another book by some comedian/song writer (My Upside Down Life (or something like that)) and it was much more positive, sure he still struggles with BiPolar (BP) but has found medications that help, a good doctor, supportive wife, etc... Madness, was less hopeful, Hornbacker suffered through years of hospitalizations, drinking, an eating disorder, cutting herself, and at the end of the book, you still feel like she's a hair's breath away from another breakdown or worse. I guess I wondering, if you've read the book, what you thoughts were. Is this on the extreme end of bipolar? Can anyone suggest any other memoirs written by bipolar people? Thanks Christy [/QUOTE]
