Learning how to manage bipolar is difficult and ever changing. It alone can consume an individual. We educate those who will listen and advocate for those to the ones that don't. However, when was the last time we not only looked at what the person struggling with this illness faces, or for that matter, what the people that love them the most endour? This book gives an in depth, raw, and no bullshit look into someone that has truly struggled, overcame, struggled some more and is still learning how to manage bipolar everyday. I am ready to tell my story to the world. I will talk very openly about being diagnosed, learning about the illness, and stumbling my way through this new and unexpected journey that is my life. I believe bipolar is something that , for those who have it, are often looked at as something we are struggling with on our own. The thing is, it impacts everyone around us and I don't think it's captured or discussed enough. My hope is, this book will help people of the BPD community and their loved ones feel like they aren't alone. Because as you'll read, to love a person with bipolar is to also love bipolar. You will learn what it takes to be in healthy relationships and for the people around you, how to better help someone diagnosed with the challenges related to this condition that so many face and even more don't know they have.

Love Shouldn't Hurt (My Personal Experience With Emotional Abuse)

Change to disclaimer: I censored their name because they were getting death threats. THIS BOOK IS COMPLETE In my younger years, I accepted toxic manipulation and emotional abuse as normal and a sign of love. I've dealt with lying and manipulation all my life but never classified it as wrong since it all came from someone I loved: my father. I never fought back because I was raised to put trust in him because we were kin. A decade later, I come across Wattpad with a warm and loving community, and through mutual friends meet THEM. We then start dating on and off and then finally break up. Before we do break-up, they made me vow to never tell anyone what I had gone through and discovered about them. I said yes without hesitation because I was still madly in love with them and stupidly loyal; but as two years pass I realize I promised to not tell anyone about their true self so they could continue to do what they did to me and to silence me because they knew I still had feelings for them and was formidably loyal. I became damage control so they could continuously drag in new weak-minded people like me and make them go through the same pain and groom them to shower them with attention every second of the day and when they didn't; they made them feel as if they were wrong. They made their lovers feel like they were the bad guy and insignificant at the same time. In Present day, this still haunts me to the point I only get a few hours of sleep. My ex isn't here now and I feel I must share not only as a way to warn readers of people like them and how his definition of love is actually far from the truth, but as way of closure for myself.
