One of my dearest friends has just published a memoir of mental illness and I can’t recommend it enough. Unflinchingly honest, open, and incredibly generous, “Love & Theft” bravely shares Jocelyn Patten’s decades long struggle with schizoaffective disorder (yes, it’s possible to be plagued by both bipolar illness and schizophrenia, which seems like cosmic sh*t of the highest order).
It’s painful, full of insight, and also ultimately uplifting, because Jocelyn has survived and found meaning in a life beset by truly crazy-making amounts of struggle.
Read this book, share this book – head on over to Goodreads where multiple options to purchase the book are shared, and there are some great reviews.
Or just go to Jocelyn’s website.
