The Darkness and the Light
The Darkness and the Light
Author: Melissa Burke
Desc: Bipolar disorder simultaneously gives you both an amazing and a terrible outlook on life. This is a book of Melissa Burke’s personal journal entries as well as some poems written over the past few years. The goal is to shed light on mental illness for people who don’t understand it while at the same time reminding those who do suffer from it that they aren't alone. This is also to show that even if you don’t have any mental illness life can be a roller coaster. But things do get better. Perfect? No never. But life doesn't have to be perfect to become a beautiful journey. ***TRIGGER WARNING*** You know by the description that this deals with bipolar disorder. One of the specific things is sexual assault. In general there is a lot of depression therefore many mentions of self harm as well as an eating disorder etc. I would love for people to buy/read this book but if you will be triggered by any of that PLEASE do NOT read it.
