Bipolar Is Who I Am is not a clinical explanation of mental illness.
It's what it actually feels like to live inside it.
One missed dose. One bad decision. One sleepless night-and everything can unravel.
Chris LaFreniere takes you inside the mind of someone living with bipolar 1 disorder-not from the outside looking in, but from the middle of the storm. The manic highs that feel unstoppable. The crushing lows that make survival feel like a victory. The impulsive decisions that can destroy relationships, careers, and identity in a matter of moments.
This is not a sanitized story.
It's raw. It's honest. And it doesn't look away from the damage.
You'll walk through:
- The chaos of undiagnosed bipolar disorder
- Addiction, reckless choices, and the edge of losing everything
- Psychosis, memory loss, and a mind that can't always be trusted
- The weight of consequences-and the responsibility to face them
- The daily fight to rebuild a life that once seemed beyond repair
But this book doesn't stop at the struggle.
It's about what comes after.
Through faith, discipline, and relentless effort, Chris discovers something deeper than survival:
that stability isn't given-it's fought for.
That identity isn't defined by diagnosis.
And that redemption is not a concept-it's a decision lived out every day.
If you live with bipolar disorder, love someone who does, or want to understand what it truly feels like from the inside...
This book will change the way you see it.
Not perfect.
Not easy.
But real.
