Driving Blindfolded

A Tormented Mind

Beschreibung

Driving Blindfolded carries the reader through thirty-five years of Amy's experiences with Bipolar Illness. It follows the author's countless euphoric manic escapades and sleep-filled deep depressions. Amy does not hold back in confessing her erratic thought process. She considers her brain to be fragile and conflicted. Missing one dose of five nightly medications or even a hopeful sunshine filled day can send Amy into mania. Many of the years recorded were chronicled from journals. A few haphazard vacations are also relived. The author's poetry is recorded throughout. Driving Blindfolded may be suspenseful at times and sad at others. The reader will get an inside view of the writer's brain and learn all of the demented visions, the anxiety, and the pure craziness of this never ending illness. Through the years Amy has managed working part time, volunteering at soup kitchens and shelters, raising a family, and staying married to her husband, Kraig. If you met Amy you would not know she suffers from mental illness.

Soon after graduating from college and marrying her high school beau, Amy began suffering paranoia and felt one of her co-workers was out to get her. She began having hallucinations and asked to be taken to the hospital to find out what was wrong and fix it. This was the beginning of a lifetime struggle. Although Amy was diagnosed with Bipolar she has managed to work full time or part time, volunteer at soup kitchens and homeless shelters, raise a family, and stay married to her husband, Kraig. The good times far outweigh the bad and although the highs feel great, Amy would never choose Bipolar.
