Incandescent

A memoir about living with Bipolar 1 disorder and Lupus. The names have been changed, the story has not.

Jumping back and forth through time, Alexis is learning how to deal with losing people in her life who no longer wish to be there. Alexis is learning how to handle auditory command hallucinations as well as take control of her life when everything she's ever known is ripped out from under her with a new diagnosis.

But Alexis isn't alone. Approximately 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness in the US. If you or a loved one is suffering, please reach out for help. A great resource is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988.
