Exit Stage Left

The author takes you from the marvelous memories of her early childhood to the overwhelming issues that she faced in adulthood. From the age of 11-62, for 51 years, she fought waves of suicidal thinking. Surgery in 2007 abruptly ended this thinking.

While 6 months pregnant with her first child, she was hospitalized for pain that kept her awake for 7 consecutive days and nights. Was it fair, or just; that the diagnosis of bipolar disorder followed? After 42 years, her psychosis was triumphantly no longer an issue. Is mental illness sometimes misdiagnosed? In these pages, you will read her inside story and the tools she discovered to conquer all her challenges. Her life of joy and purpose is what she wants to share with you today.
