How can someone used to extremes live a stable life? At the age of twenty-two, Chelsea Reidy found her previously tranquil world cast into chaos. Catholic guilt, lesbianism, ill-advised real estate transactions, and a narrowly missed arranged marriage. Why did she suddenly find herself in one outlandish situation after another? Then she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and it all started to make sense. This is the true story of how Chelsea overcame the manic highs and crushing lows, and found happiness. “Bipolar disorder, like all mental illness, should not define us. But it cannot be ignored. I hope this book will offer help and support for sufferers, and increase understanding and compassion in their loved ones.” An intimate and moving account of how one woman learned to embrace the benefits, manage the risks, and enjoy the journey.
