Overview

Everybody rides their own rollercoaster in life. Living life with bipolar, however, magnifies the highs and lows. The diagnosis, manias and the lows have all contributed to Anna's shadow that strongly shaded her life for ten years. When mentally unwell, Anna likens herself to an old clapped-out car, describing life like an autocross race. As you turn the pages, you will kangaroo start and hit the curb with her. The beginning of the book is naturally more turbulent. The later pages reveal how Anna has discovered how to make herself roadworthy again. Overcoming adversity with such resilience has enabled Anna to turn her mental health crisis into a mental health triumph. Balancing the light and shade of bipolar is not too dissimilar from choosing paint off a Dulux colour chart. Now that Anna is in remission of bipolar, you will see how she thrives to live life in the grey. This lived experience exposure is raw, honest, emotive, moving, and witty. Anna's account will educate the ill-informed and give hope to fellow sufferers, parents and significant others. It also sets out to complement healthcare professionals' existing knowledge base. Mental health is everybody's business. As Anna has proved, nurses can get sick too. Anna hopes her memoir contributes to that much-needed mental health conversation.
