Still Here

A bipolar survival manual grounded in neuroscience, faith, and lived experience

I wrote a book. It’s finally out.

A lot of you have been reading here for a while. You know the territory — the neuroscience, the faith questions, the cost of living with a brain like this.

This book is where it all came together.

Still Here: A Bipolar Survival Manual started as journal entries. Years of them. At one point I realized there was something here worth finishing. I almost didn’t publish it. I told my wife Sarah I might just keep it for myself, maybe let our kids read it someday. She pushed me to put it out. I’m glad she did.

The book is an attempt to explain what bipolar disorder is actually doing in the brain, what destabilizes it and what protects it, and how to build a life that holds up under it. It brings together what I’ve learned from neuroscience, lived experience, and faith, without forcing those things into separate boxes.

It’s for the newly diagnosed. For the person who’s been dealing with this for years and still feels like they’re guessing. For the people who love them and are trying to understand what they’re seeing.

If you read it and it helps, I’d appreciate a review. That’s what helps it reach the people who are looking for something like this and don’t know where to find it.

Thank you for being here. This community is part of the reason this book exists.
