Bipolar Disorder is a chronic mental illness which causes dramatic shifts in a person's mood, energy and ability to think clearly. The pendulum of Bipolar Mania can swing from absolute euphoria to utter despair in an instant. In severe cases a sufferer may have to navigate their way through a psychedelic landscape of both audible and visual hallucinations, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. This book was conceived during a six month manic episode which lead to the destruction of all the things I held most dear. My marriage, my home, my friends, every penny to my name, all lost in my attempt to define a black hole as the Hand of God, connecting science and religion through a piece of art. Once I was stable I spent years trying to make sense of my collection of apocalyptic ramblings, movie lines, song lyrics, scientific studies and math formulas fleshed out with symbols instead of numbers because at the time the numbers weren't adding up, but pictures did. So this is my story, told the way I want to tell it, half written in a psychotic state, half while resisting the urge to return there. Warning! This book contains graphic content, violent imagery, drug use, foul language, abusive behavior and an artistic examination of mental illness. Read at your own risk.
