You Just Can't Tell

This memoir details my experiences with trauma and bipolar disorder, starting with the events that led up to my first hospitalization and leading up to present day. I wrote it not only to unclutter my mind but also in the hopes that someone else out there, whomever they may be, might feel a little less alone. To paraphrase something I recently wrote in sidewalk chalk near my parents' house, we are all but many branches on the same great tree.
