In this book, I identify seven attributes that are like stair steps leading to destruction for anyone who suffers with bipolar disorder but remains untreated. The 7 attributes include: depression, hypomania, complete mania, financial ruin, sexual promiscuity, introduction to the penal system or extended unemployment and religiousity.  I have 5 personalities give their perspectives on the 7 attributes. Very Interesting. 

Has anyone or in this case, a group of people ever colluded to steal something so valuable to you that you couldn't speak. You couldn't talk because what they stole would embarrass you,  shame you, and expose every secret that you were stupid enough to put in print.  In this book, these guys had to commit a federal crime to steal it?  In the Bible, God says "Vengeance is mine." I also heard a saying, "Don't mess with the man that buys ink by the barrel. She was too mad to wait on God so she took matters into her hands. Everybody has a boss, and unfortunately, people forget that when they plot to commit a federal crime. You decide who needed to seek psychiatric assistance. Some people got paranoid, schizoid, narcissistic, neurotic, psychotic, and mean-spirited, while all the time wearing Armani suits, and stilettos. Enjoy

I wrote this book starting my second year of graduate school after my Manic Depression (Bipolar Disorder Mania) diagnosis. This is the first book that I wrote. I was overwhelmed with the rigors of grad school, commuting, raising children, being a wife, teaching, research, and walking on water. This book has a wonderful ending in that I defended my dissertation and received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry/Chemistry. This happened after my major professor told me that I would get my degree over his dead body. Enjoy!

In our minds, we all have a running commentary regarding every aspect of our lives. In these books, I hope you  laugh at my thoughts, and decide if you see yourself responding the same way, or are you a better person than me. The other option is that you only think it, but I put pen to paper.

On 10/19/19, I released “The Woman with an Issue of Blood.” The Bible has a parable in Luke 8:43-48, of a woman who had an issue of blood for 12-years. In 2019, I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA), which is a disease characterized by autoantibody-initiated destruction of red blood cells (RBCs). I was wishing that Jesus was hanging around a well or walking on water so that I could touch the hem of His garment to be made whole. Instead, 3 blood transfusions later, here I am. Since I can relate to the woman with an issue of blood, I decided to write this book. I chronicle the details of a 5-day hospital “stay cation.” This book also talks about how Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. It talks about how the archangel Michael had to rebuke Satan to get the body of Moses. It talks about the church with an issue of blood. My favorite chapter is called, “Legion is Laughing at God.”
