I never really write on this page and I'm trying to get better writing on my other blog. I already published "Night in Positano." It's the book about a bipolar teen. The main character, Nick, went through some hard times and it had a lot of me in it, but not enough truth. You can find that book usually on the second page of the name search primarily because I haven't advertised it. But, you can also find it for the Nook and iTunes. I think the best truth is the truth so I have embarked on my second book which is an autobiography. It is called "A Bipolar Man." I have already secured the URL abipolarman.com. I am still in the background mode which leads the reader through my childhood which was much more interesting than I had thought and then through my adult life up to my first major bipolar episode. The rest of the book is about how I survived and how others may find a way to survive or at least know that they are not alone.
I stopped working in July 2007 because I was really physically sick. I have been in the hospital a multitude of times and depressed for most of the winter of 2012-13. I feel better now which is how I am able to focus on the book. I am also on Social Security Disability because of my severe disorder. I hope that writing books will eventually give me the income I need to get off of disability.
I make entries to lose250.com fairly often and I am going to try to make more entries on lose250.blogspot.com. Thanks, Christopher
About Me
- Chrsitopher Sharits
- I believe a bio should be about the essence of your being and not what you have done or about what you are about to do. I am a multi-tasker as if that were a proper verb. At any given time I am reading several books at the same time and I tend to fill my plate with so many projects that it astounds me when I list them. About a decade ago I had a psychologist tell me I was the worst kind of bipolar. What? Had I misbehaved? “No,” she said. Rather than being manic-depressive, I am manic-manic which is apparently difficult to treat because I like it. As you might surmise, I am always a bit manic, but, I assure you, I can be uncontrollably manic. I can be difficult. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I am high maintenance. Thank God my wife is so tolerant and strong. If it were not for her, I would not be here. And so I write. I write everything.
