What People Are Saying
I highly recommend reading this book. It is an extremely captivating story, and the book is hard to put down. It is an open and honest account about identifying, diagnosing, battling, and living with mental illness and addiction, and also about helping a loved one to do the same. It is a unique story that discusses mental illness and addiction both from the inside out (the author’s struggles), and from the outside in (the author helping her husband with his struggles). It is an inspiring story, that provides valuable information, resources, and hope. This book also discusses another exceptionally important topic that needs more awareness and change – the unfair and harmful discrimination that people with these medical conditions face. I found this book to be exceedingly thought provoking and compelling, and immensely helpful in bringing mental illness out of the closet and in shedding the current shame that many people affected with these disorders suffer.

Each time I read Diane’s story I can’t help but admire the honesty and raw details she provides of her life with mental illness. She gives hope to those suffering from and those who love anyone afflicted with mental illness. Her journey with dual diagnosis had to be frustrating beyond belief. That she has arrived at the place she is today, is a story of perseverance, hard work and faith. Coping with her own illness and coming through to the other side is incredible enough yet she also lives with and loves her husband and his diagnoses. Diane show a true strength of commitment and demonstrates that it is possible to lead a happy and successful life in spite of mental illness. I truly admire her courage and honesty in telling her story. She gives hope that it is possible to arrive at a more peaceful place. Anyone coping with mental illness knows the impossible struggles involved each day, sometimes each hour. Reading how Diane coped time and again with relapses and managed to arrive at a place of stability gives encouragement that happiness and contentment are possible. Diane is an amazing individual with strength of purpose who is truly inspirational. Thank you for your story!

I really enjoyed reading this book! The author was candid about her experiences, but was able to deliver a sense of hope to the reader. My personal experience having been in a relationship with a bipolar for three years has been one where almost every book I read was negative. Perhaps it’s because I’m the type of person to see a glass as full, sometimes even if there’s only a few drops of water that I have been able to love my bipolar partner. The author explains how working with mental illness and bipolar is really multifaceted. Medication alone isn’t the answer. A person must be committed to lifestyle changes, therapy, and most of all living a life of honesty with their partner. We all have baggage in some form or another, but it’s how we deal with it that matters. I appreciate the way the author wants to share her message of hope and happiness! I recommend this book to all partners of a mentally ill person and those suffering from mental illness themselves!
