A fascinating, abet painful look into the life and thoughts of someone suffering from bipolar disorder. Overwhelmed by pain and despair in one entry, only to be flying into orbit on a manic high the next, this diary gets you up close and personal with the disorder and the chaos it brings to those affected by it. Silvia Meier takes you on the roller coaster ride that is her every day existence, holding nothing back, prettying nothing up. She is in the prime of her life, a mother to five children, and a survivor. It is raw and captivating, and I couldn't pull away. I come away with a deep appreciation for my relatively normal life, and with a great deal of respect for Meier for being able to cope.
