Cuckoo in the Vineyard: A book of a bipolar, by a bipolar for the non-bipolar

By Deepi

They say a cuckoo never builds her own nest.

She lays her eggs in another bird's home and flies away-left out, misunderstood, a mother with

love but no place to give it.

For most of my life, I felt like that cuckoo.

As if my thoughts weren't mine.

Some arrived soft and beautiful. Others came like storms-loud, wild, and painful.

This is not a book about being "cured."

It's about feeling deeply.

It's about remembering the girl I left behind, the mother who hid her tears, the woman who kept breaking-but never stopped smiling. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 42. But I've lived with chaos, confusion, and intensity for as long as I can remember. The diagnosis gave it a name.

But healing? That came slowly. It still does.

I didn't write this to explain mental illness.

I wrote it to reach you.

If you've ever felt too emotional, too lost or too tired-this book is for you.

Pick it up.

Hold it close.

Maybe, just maybe, you'll find a piece of yourself in these pages.

You're not broken.

You're growing.

And here, you are not alone.

Here, it's okay to finally smile for yourself.
