O knihe

A Fine Line

-- --Takes you through the bipolar experience,

and out the other side -- --

Insanity struck Eileen Walton midway through law school. She never saw it coming. Her life was disrupted; her mind was ripped apart. When she finally recovered, a suffocating depression followed. It took her a year before she could start to slowly rebuild her life, grateful that the episode was over --until it happened again. As additional episodes continued to come, she learned the warning signs --the euphoria, the increased energy, the racing thoughts. She knew that delusions, paranoia, and terror would come next. After that would come depression; she knew that too.

In her memoir, she tells how she learned to use the qualities of love to determine what is delusional and what is real. "If it isn't loving, it isn't real," she would repeat to herself when paranoia threatened. In her later psychotic episodes, she discovered that the same consciousness that brings her insanity also brings her a world where paranormal experiences abound --where precognition is frequent and heightened intuitive powers are the rule. This is a spirited story of stark reality and optimism, extraordinary forces and ordinary life, and the power of belief over lies.
