When My Bipolar Tsunami Hit (Daily Word Prompt is Traditional)

my loud whispers of hope, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There is nothing about my life that is traditional.

My traditions vanished and life became conditional.

Everything depended on the conditions of my bipolar disorder,

caused my brain to become unbalanced and way out-of-order.

If traditional is supposed to be normal, whatever normal is

then I am definitely not traditional, not even close to this.

When the storm of my bipolar tsunami hit,

it destroyed my traditional life, every little bit.

I lost my identity, career, friends, husband and home.

My mind gone, lost, wandering, aimlessly I began to roam.

Trying to find where I was, who I had become and who I should be.

Needed to accept my bipolar, looked for answers and someone to help me.

But, eventually chose the wrong path, making a huge mistake,

stopped all necessary treatments, and no medication to take.

After many years of being severely broken and lost,

I began looking for help, support and love, at any cost.

Eventually destroying my life even more,

became homeless, beaten down to my core.

True insanity had reached my mind,

which forced me to get help and find

proper treatment of the medical kind.

For many years, I searched for anything that would help me,

medications caused adverse reactions, with me they did not agree.

Eventually I had many successful life saving treatments called ECT.

After I finally accepted my bipolar, I began to recover and get well.

I accepted Jesus into my life and learned I had a great story to tell.

Jesus saved my life and opened my heart

to love life again, a tradition from the start.

Published by my loud whispers of hope

I share my story openly and honestly to educate others and increase the awareness of mental illness, reduce stigma, prevent suicide, to inspire, give hope and let God's love shine through me and touch you. I finished writing, proofreading and editing my memoir in January of 2019. I am in the process of sending my manuscript to agents and publishers that accept unsolicited maunscripts. I pray my words will turn into a book that will inspire and spark joy and hope in the lives of many. Recovery and healing are possible. I am living proof. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~Maya Angelou
