Abstract
Julie Kraft is a Canadian author, artist, and mental health advocate devoted to spreading awareness and shattering stigma. In the spring of 2010, after decades of living with anxiety and depression, she received an official diagnosis of bipolar II disorder. Julie's initial feelings of shame led to desperate searches for positive images of bipolar.
Description
In this unforgettable memoir, first-time author Julie Kraft takes readers on an intimate journey through her struggles and triumphs with bipolar disorder. No stone is left unturned. In baring her skeletons and soul, Julie offers a rare glimpse into a world that affects millions but is often misrepresented, feared, or hidden. It is Julie's greatest hope that in sharing her story she will open minds, shatter stigma, and offer hope to those walking a similar path.
From the Back Cover
" I despised the idea of seeing a doctor. Hated the thought of letting someone from the outside world into mine, allowing a stranger to see my weakness. I kept this part of me hidden from everyone except those closest to me - the people I was convinced would never "out" me, betray me, or leave me. I kept everything hidden behind closed doors. Until now. "
