Slipping, Not Falling: The Bipolar Contract: A Workbook

By Alexandria Anderson

Alexandria Anderson tells of her experiences with mental illness through a series of short stories, each related to a different aspect of the disorder. Her unique descriptions of what it is like to live with the disorder allow readers with similar mood disorders to connect on a deep emotional level, leaving them feeling less alone in their struggles. For supportive friends and family, the stories shared allow for a better understanding of what it is like to experience the disorder. Perhaps more importantly, Alexandria has created a workbook that details to the reader the primary way she manages her illness: by creating a bipolar contract. The workbook allows the reader to take control of their illness by analyzing their own patterns and behaviors. It describes the practice of putting safeguards in place that allow a bipolar individual to prepare for and better manage mood episodes. Alexandria provides great personal insight into the symptoms of mania and depression and offers solutions for handling both sides of the mood spectrum. This exceptional compilation of personal experiences and practical advice will greatly aide and provide hope to those who are struggling with such a challenging mental illness.
