Marbles

I really like the use of comics for biographical works, something about the visual element allows for a expression of mental states which resonates better with me.

It was a jolt to see a medication I took briefly mentioned in this book, but it hit home that there are commonalities between bipolar disorder and unipolar depression. I think the author got across the mania of a manic episode really well as well as the frustration of not being able to ‘fix' the ‘problem'.

Loved it. It also taught me a lot about various mental illness stuff, though I (thought I) knew a lot already. Can't wait to read her other books!

Read this extended title. It is a perfect description of this little book. It is all you need to know about it.
