I don't know if anyone of you have read Manic, by Terri Cheney but it is such a good book in my opinion. It feels like she is writing my words when I read it. I have read a lot of memoirs about bipolar but so far this is one of the best. Anyone else read it? If not and you are looking for a good book I definitly suggest it.

I'll have to add this to my list. I've been interested about reading others' accounts.
Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world.
