Bees in My Head

Bees in my head seeks to unravel the truth about a debilitating disorder - Bipolar Mood Disorder. Bipolar is a mental illness characterised by highly disruptive mood swings that are often misinterpreted as attention seeking. The highs and lows are explored whilst shedding light on the suffocating sadness of the condition. The condition is a demon that causes significant struggle and frustration for those affected. Suicide attempts are a real cry to escape the misery of a constant dark cloud. Society often frowns upon the abnormal behaviour leaving the sufferer feeling judged and disconnected.

"Deeply touching, harrowing and enlightening.

I think the author's story will, as intended, help others to better understand the reality, the life and the mind of a person battling daily with Bipolar Mood Disorder. It is sure to leave readers with profound empathy and compassion for all that sufferers have to deal with. This account really packs a powerful punch as the author demonstrates an incredible ability to convey things in a graphic and intense way that makes what she is writing about vividly real to the reader. These words will take you right into the mind and heart of the author."
