Bipolar Courage

"It takes courage to live with bipolar disorder. Bipolar gives me courage." Xanthe Wyse, New Zealand.

Memoir: "Bipolar Courage: are you sure you're not autistic?"
Semiautobiographical novel: "Pet Purpose: Your Unspoken Voice".
Both books focus on relationships with psychiatric disorders/disabilities. 

Current diagnoses ranked in order of impairment: mental injury of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); bipolar 1 disorder; mild social anxiety disorder; PDD-NOS (autism spectrum features). 

Xanthe chose to highlight the most stigmatised diagnosis with her username. Independent thinker.
