This bipolar adult isn't a fan

As a former bipolar child, now a bipolar adult, I was eager to find a book like this to share with a classroom full of disabled and neurodivergent kids, to let them know they're not alone and to teach them how to take care of themselves and their "super emotions". Unfortunately this reads less like anything helpful to the bipolar child and more uncomfortably close to the multitudes of inept therapy sessions as a kid: where it was less about helping me with my intense feelings, wild thoughts, and personal struggles and more about making me less "difficult" for my parents. I even conferred with the great therapist I have as an adult and she also agrees that I should pass on reading this one to the kids. Pity, but I'd rather the kids not internalize the message that they're difficult like I did as a "wild child".
