About the Book

"This time I couldn't fail. I had to get it right. The suffering was unbearable and suicide was the only answer. The pain of losing custody of my children far exceeded anything else that had hurt me before and I knew it was a pain I would have for a life-time. I was buried in excruciating shame. I believed the children would be better off without a pathetic excuse of a mother - an insane mother devoured by mental illness. I had to succeed this time. This time, there was absolutely no room for error."Laura Helfant was tormented for years by not one but two mental illnesses. The casualty of suicide attempts, an eating disorder, extreme highs and lows, devastating self-hatred and an inability to control emotions, Laura eventually learned she suffered from both bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, Laura's story exemplifies what it is like to live with mental illness. Throughout this book, she shares the extreme tragedies of molestation, an absent mother, an alcoholic father, an abusive husband and severe dissociation, or what she calls the "brain-dance." When Laura finally accepts her diagnoses, life begins to change as she finds relief from her symptoms. By embracing the willingness to take psychiatric medication and an unyielding commitment to DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Laura begins to experience a life without constant suffering. Anyone suffering from bipolar disorder, BPD or both, will find great insight in this book, as will anyone who lives with someone who has a mental illness. Laura's fight for a life worth living is truly inspiring as she finds hope, love and beauty amid extreme obstacles. After a life of constant misery, she finally discovers a miracle.
