Summary

My brain served me though very well throughout my life. Until one day in 2015 it didn’t. I first suffered an extreme, sustained mania that did not switch off for two months no matter how tired or medicated I was. Then, after the mania stopped, so did my brain function. It was like a light that burns so bright it burns itself out. I could no longer think, talk, or even understand what was going on. I was just an observer to the world, seeing but not comprehending.

Little did I know it then, but it would be over six years before I would fully regain cognitive function and become, well, me again--albeit with some small, quirky changes. The process was at times laborious and other times spectacular. This audiobook was written as I went through my final stages of recovery, and it takes you on the journey.
