This is a truly touching book about a woman with Bipolar Disorder. She is so honest and truthful and articulate in her story. The book is an easy read. The beginning and middle are more of a hindsight look at her life before and after she realized she was bipolar. She explains in detail the situations and feelings that she now realizes was sickness. She gives wonderful examples of her mania and depression. She shows us the pain and torment someone with bipolar can go through. She also points out the correlation of sexual addiction and substance abuse that can accompany a Bipolar Disorder. The end of the book are actual excerpts from her personal journal. I felt it was wonderful that she allowed us to actually experience her own words at the time she was feeling them. I felt a so much compassion for what Sabitri went through. She was so honest and forthcoming that anyone with bipolar could read her book and relate. It is truly the feeling of "not being alone" with the illness. I would recommend this book for the fact that it is a compelling story of a woman who, even with an illness, is normal.
