Yeah Im reading it and I am almost done and while it is a bit interesting....I find it different to how I experience this hellish disorder. Her mania is wild and rampant and long lasting while I guess I have what she describes as "mild mania." And while I know deep down maybe others have felt this too...reading how she describes it makes me feel like I am stupid because it gets to me. I know my Dr says Im intelligent but I cant do all the things this lady did. I dropped out of second yr in college because I literally was losing my mind and I DID try to get help with counseling and taking meds and the clinic I sought help from failed me. I dropped out shortly after. I appreciate the book and the memoir and honesty but I cannot relate to her.
