Subject: ME

By: Joann Buckley

Subject: ME discusses the author's life and that she was unknowingly living with bipolar disease. She was finally diagnosed when she was about 55. Her family life was pretty difficult to bear-her mother was an entertainer which, combined with alcoholism, made home life nearly impossible. With all of the author's suicidal thoughts and attempts, it is a miracle that she made it through to adulthood.

There are so many people in this world who are suffering from bipolar disease and they don't know there is a solution and that their life can become almost "normal." The author hopes that readers take away the fact that there is a solution to the suicidal thoughts-and living with bipolar disease is possible. Life can become happy and comfortable.
