(In)Sane - Memoirs of a Manic Millennial
(In)Sane is an expedition through the depths of a mind lost in mania. After years of suffering through undiagnosed Bipolar, I found myself at the precipice of disaster - jobless, broke, and alone in a psych ward. This harrowing account of my sojourn through the mental-healthcare system touches on the moments of desperation and triumph alike, with a twist - the tale begins between hospitalizations, while still embroiled in severe mania.
Several years later, driven by the need to make sense of the madness, I returned to (In)Sane to lend perspective to what was happening in the reality brewing outside of the concrete walls of the psych ward. Told in two parts that strive to capture the full spectrum of moods that comprise Bipolar, (In)Sane aims to bring understanding through brutally honest and transparent accounts of what it is truly like to grapple with the cataclysmic consequences of uncontrolled mental illness, and what it means to find hope and purpose on the other side.
So, where lies the difference between sanity and (in)sanity? Well, it turns out, it’s all a matter of perspective.
