The vulnerability caused by bipolar disorder affects many facets of life. Now that Theo Broekman has entered a calmer phase after his retirement, he looks back on his life with his vulnerability caused by bipolar disorder.
In this book, he describes his way of dealing with the vulnerability, first as a secret, but later as a challenge to manage it as best as he can. Part of this challenge is his choice to be open about his vulnerability. What has this openness brought him?
He writes about the hypomania, the annually recurring depressions, and his thoughts about suicide, which are part of his mood disorder.
It has become a personal, intimate story.
People with a vulnerability due to bipolar disorder are not responsible for having this vulnerability, but they might feel responsible for managing it as well as possible.
