The Journey Home - Pisani Lori-ellen

Lori-ellen Pisani lives with a powerful enemy inside her brain. At times, Lori-ellen soars to the heights of mania. She’s highly creative and a multi-tasker. Then a trigger such as an argument will send her into a suicidal depression. Having been undiagnosed until her early thirties and working as a teacher, if anyone were to find out, her career would be in serious jeopardy. Bipolar Disorder is very often misunderstood, and therefore perceived as a threat by the parents who have entrusted their children to her care. She takes you on her journey to learn the identity of this enemy and to declare a secret war to save her life. Each chapter brings the reader along her experiences as she battles: abandonment, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, divorce, and cancer. Readers will relate to Lori-ellen’s words, and hopefully find the strength to wage war against mental illness and begin their own journey towards victory – peace of mind and heart.
