I would like to express my gratitude to the book Living with Someone Who’s Living with Bipolar Disorder by Chelsea Lowe and Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD (Jossey-Bass, 2010). This book was invaluable to my understanding of what it’s like to love someone with bipolar disorder.
As always, thanks to my agent, Amy Tipton, and editor, Anica Mrose Rissi, for your smarts, sass, and support. Thanks also to everyone at Simon Pulse for believing in my little books and working so hard for them.
Thanks to my pal Rachel B.—for having quite possibly the best smile in the whole world, and for your wisdom and generosity.
Thanks to Nana Twumasi, my friend and Virgo twin—for your superior editorial instincts and attention to detail. You continue to prove that Virgos really are better than everyone else.
Thanks to all my friends and family who have loved and embraced my crazy for all these years. You know who you are.
And biggest thanks to my husband, Brian—for asking all the right questions, and for having faith in me to find the answers.
