The author opens herself up and shares her problems with the debilitating state of mental health known as “bipolar affective disorder” and “manic depression.” She introduces the reader to her life, her family, her doctors, and various mental hospitals and patients around the country. Although it sounds depressive, she uses humor, drama, and expressive poems to entice the reader to enter her bipolar world. However, she feels putting mentally ill people together in the same setting is imperceptible. People struggling to get in touch with reality and their true, sane feelings are bombarded with insane thoughts and babblings. After so long, it becomes easiest to give in to insanity and to stop struggling for reality. Jayne however moves in and out of depression, mood swings, and suicide attempts—leaving the reader with the feeling that here is a very normal person after all but one with constant struggles to remain in a state of normalcy.
