Driving Blindfolded

carries the reader through thirty-five years of Amys experiences with Bipolar Illness. It follows the authors countless euphoric manic escapades and sleep-filled deep depressions. Amy does not hold back in confessing her erratic thought process. She considers her brain to be fragile and conflicted. Missing one dose of five nightly medications or even a hopeful sunshine filled day can send Amy into mania.

Many of the years recorded were chronicled from journals. A few haphazard vacations are also relived. The authors poetry is recorded throughout.

Driving Blindfolded may be suspenseful at times and sad at others. The reader will get an inside view of the writers brain and learn all of the demented visions, the anxiety, and the pure craziness of this never ending illness.

Through the years Amy has managed working part time, volunteering at soup kitchens and shelters, raising a family, and staying married to her husband, Kraig.

If you met Amy you would not know she suffers from mental illness.
