My Journey from Darkness to Light begins when I was in elementary school and continues into my 30's when I was finally diagnosed as bipolar. It is a story of depression and despair but also a story of miracles. People who came into my life to teach me and love me and I went through my ups and downs.
I will let a review from a reader named Wayne tell more:
Patricia Potts has written an incredibly insightful 'insider's guide,' describing what it is like to suffer from depression and bi-polar illness. [ASIN:1419694952 My Journey From Darkness to Light: How to Overcome Depression and Bipolar Illness One Step at A Time]. Reading her book, one cannot help but be overwhelmed with sadness and empathy for those who suffer from these illnesses. I am embarrassed at how little I truly understood about the feelings and struggles of those suffering these illnesses. I am ashamed to think how many times I may have ignored pleas for help, been insensitive to sufferers, or made comments that were not helpful.
Happily, the book is not just a description of the daily struggles for those suffering these medical problems, but is a story of hope and a way to cope -- if not overcome. Patricia has written an indispensable guide book that will assist not only sufferers but also family members and friends. Her vivid writing style and emotional descriptions clearly teach the reader that it is not a solution (for the sufferer or the well-meaning friends) to say "just get over it," or to ignore the problem.
There is so much to learn from this account of Patricia's struggles, on several levels: The reader learns the importance of help from family, neighbors, friends, and fellow church members. Patricia's story recounts the amazing patience and loyalty of a loving spouse. The value of medication (and recognition of it’s part in recovery) is convincingly illustrated.
The most powerful moral of the book -- and the source of its uplifting theme -- is the compelling story of how Patricia at great cost came to know God as a result of her experiences
