Polishing The Facets Of Life With Bipolar

For many, "mentally ill" can seem like a label you can never come back from. That's certainly how E.M. Sebree felt - compared to Mountain Dew in high school for her manic personality and, later, called Bright Eyes by hospital workmen impressed by her energy, she was in fact haunted by something far more destructive than mere excitement: bipolar disorder. From early trauma through sexual assault through delusions and hallucinations, Sebree's journey is one into the dark heart of how we as a society approach mental health. For her, as for so many others, diagnosis and treatment were not the end of her troubles, but merely a new beginning: high school, college, and the world of work would bring fresh challenges and obstacles that sometimes appeared insurmountable. A generous, grounded, and authentic work, Polishing the Facets invites the reader to walk a mile in the shoes of a bipolar woman. Breaking through media sensationalism and stigma, E.M. Sebree instead points toward the human heart beating within every so-called "crazy" person.
