I'm Not Crazy Just Bipolar

"the author achieves something difficult in a memoir: she remembers feelings from a period of her life, while still providing distance and perspective. Williamson's analysis of the mental health field and mental health professionals is insightful without being preachy, and she presents her story with grace and humor." 

- Publishers Weekly

"skillfully weaves together several levels of a young woman's life... [it] is, like its title, an assertion that a life touched by bipolar disorder is still a life with its own logic.
The book does a great job at describing that logic."

 -National Alliance of Mental Illness/NAMI's The Advocate

Wendy Williamson always wrote poetry, but while studying at Virginia Tech decided to write a book. A decade later, after being downsized and fed up with corporate America, she shifted gears and wrote it.  I'm Not Crazy Just Bipolar is an honest memoir of healing and hope. Her second book, Two Bipolar Chicks Guide to Survival: Tips for Living With Bipolar Disorder, co-written with author Honora Rose, was published by Post Hill Press in early 2014.

Wendy has written for Bipolar for Dummies: 2nd Edition, BP Magazine and The Two River Times. Her book has been reviewed by Publisher's Weekly and National Alliance on Mental Illness' (NAMI) The Advocate. Wendy has been interviewed on over forty radio stations and is the founder of The Red Bank Writers Group. Wendy blogs for BPHope, tweets @bipolarwendy and @2bipolarchicks and wears out laptops to stay sane. wendykwilliamson.com and twobipolarchicks.com.
