Showing 1-5 of 36 (next | show all) I had to read this book for my Co-Occuring Disorders class in 2015. Basically it's an autobiograpical tale of a woman dealing with Bi-Polar Disorder along with her addiction isues. I cannot remember a single other thing about it. Like I said, it was required reading and I would never have picked it up if I hadn't had to read it for the class. I got an 'A' on the report though. ( ) Rellwood74 | Feb 18, 2021 | Terri Cheney's memoir is a very accurate description of life with a manic-depressive. My ex-wife was charming, seductive, and a blast to be with when she was hypomanic just like Ms. Cheney. But like Ms. Cheney my ex-spouse was self-destructive at other times. Life was total chaos but always exciting. Manic: A Memoir was very enjoyable. ( ) lynnbyrdcpa | Dec 7, 2020 | Absolutely great book, writing & emotion is extremely good. ( ) nanarobin | Jul 26, 2019 | Absolutely terrifying; Terri Cheney has so closely captured the bipolar experience. However, I'm sick of reading about the mental anguish of beautiful and successful women. ( ) bookishblond | Oct 24, 2018 | A Beverly Hills lawyer writes a memoir about the ups and downs of her bi polar disorder. Not a very long book, was finished in a few hours, but easily kept my interest. ( ) loraineo | Jul 25, 2018 | Showing 1-5 of 36 (next | show all) ▼Published reviews ▼Common Knowledge
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone On the outside, Terri Cheney was a successful, attractive Beverly Hills entertainment lawyer. But behind her seemingly flawless façade lay a dangerous secret--for most of her life Cheney had been battling bipolar disorder and concealing a pharmacy's worth of prescriptions meant to make her 'normal.' Cheney describes her roller-coaster life with shocking honesty--from glamorous parties to a night in jail; from flying fourteen kites off the edge of a cliff in a thunderstorm to crying beneath her office desk; from electroshock therapy to a suicide attempt fueled by tequila and prescription painkillers. The events unfold episodically, from mood to mood, the way she lived and remembers life. In this way the reader is able to viscerally experience the incredible speeding highs of mania and the crushing blows of depression. This book does not simply explain bipolar disorder--it takes us in its grasp and does not let go.--From publisher description. No library descriptions found. ▼LibraryThing members' description
