This book saved my life! Thanks to Dr. Breggin, I cured myself from being bipolar and have now been normal and creative without going crazy for twenty-five years. The problem was when I would write I would spiral into a manic high, then become psychotic. The next thing I knew, I was being picked up by the police and put in the proverbial rubber room. The last time was the worst. The police shot me down with four tasers. When I got out of the hospital that time I said, "Never again." I was told I was bipolar.
I examined my life for the beliefs I had (the problem stemmed mostly from my religious beliefs and brainwashing growing up) and a combination of circumstances that caused me to have problems. (Divorce, job losses, etc.) I took charge of my life without doctors, and without drugs. I started directing myself doing what I loved so I could be creative as a writer and normal without going crazy. Psychiatrists were not helpful, drugs were not the answer (lithium to stay down, and Prozac when I got so far down I wanted to commit suicide). Now days I think people are better off having a coach to focus on what one wants and taking steps to achieve one's goals. I didn't have help being on a poverty income. However, I did write and I would write my "Dear God Letters," and from that got answers.
Well, this is long, but I hope it helps anyone who is interested to know that no matter who you are, you have everything you need to thrive as you. That's basically what its all about. Be the great creative you. Find your voice, and a way to express all the beauty of who you are. I believe everyone has something special to contribute to this world. Basically, your job is to be you and make your love visible through who you are and what you do.
