Living Out of Darkness

At 17 standing outside of the mental institute, waiting for a taxi to take me home, my hands were empty, and my head was full of my recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder, manic depressive. I climbed into the taxi that day with only my determination and hope to find a third way beyond the options of being put on meds, or being in custody.

This is a book for those who, like me, facing a bipolar diagnosis, find themselves reaching for the hope of a different way. The release of Living Out of Darkness as an iPhone App is the culmination of a dream for me: Today, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, anyone who is bipolar, and has an iPhone — whether stepping out of that first unsettling diagnosis, or having struggled with bipolar for years — need never stand empty-handed again.

Living Out Of Darkness is a journey to spiritually engage with bipolar as a gift to be discovered and lived.

Living Out of Darkness is a story of the discovery of positive metaphysics, the application of baby steps towards discovering the good, and focusing on the gifts of being bipolar.

Living Out of Darkness is also a guidebook for holistic bipolar living — the gems of what has helped me most in affecting my body, my mind, and my spirit. I give the reader a guided tour of up, down, and back to "normal" (that "middle" or "calm" state which, while it may seem elusive - or even utterly inaccessible — I have found can be prolonged with the conscious application of holistic practices.) The book wraps up with a refreshing take on how bipolar is an opportunity: for those of us who are bipolar, and also for those whose lives we touch, and for the world at large. This bipolar-positive viewpoint will help you re-frame your bipolar experience in a way that helps you connect with and claim your natural gifts.
