I've been writing for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would fill notebooks with stories and poems. In high school, I started writing for the school newspaper. In college, I majored in English and creative writing. After college, I worked as a freelance writer and editor for several years.

But it wasn't until I was diagnosed with bipolar disFree Download that I started writing about my own experiences with mental illness. I was in my early 30s, and I had just been hospitalized for a manic episode. I was scared and confused, and I didn't know what was going to happen to me.

But I also knew that I needed to write about what I was going through. I needed to make sense of it, and I needed to share my story with others.

So I started writing a memoir. I wrote about my childhood, my diagnosis, my hospitalizations, and my recovery. I wrote about the challenges I have faced, and the lessons I have learned.

The memoir is called "Mostly Funny." It's a funny and heartbreaking book about mental illness and making things. It's a book about the power of art to heal and inspire.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share my story with others. I hope that my book will help people to understand mental illness, and to find hope and inspiration in their own lives.
