Publisher's summary

From chaos and despair to a beacon of hope....

Imagine being in the throes of manic depression, struggling to stay sober from drugs and alcohol, and the shocking responses you receive in your dire moments. That is the world explored in Mark Logan's memoir, Hard Pill to Swallow: My Manic Memoir.

Mark brings a unique, raw perspective from his personal experiences. He invites you into his world—one that navigates diagnosis, stigma, acceptance, and misunderstanding of bipolar disorder. His journey weaves through 12-step meetings, self-help support groups, emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, jails, and even prison. He takes you along with him as he faces the rejection of frightened friends and embraces the support of those who stand by him. It's a compelling exploration that promises to keep you listening until the final minute.

In this audiobook, you will catch intimate glimpses of how manic depression or bipolar disorder affects not only those diagnosed but the entire support structure around them. You'll find inspiration and hope that our fractured mental health system still holds opportunities for healing and unearthing resilience. In Hard Pill to Swallow: My Manic Memoir, Logan carries you through his struggles with his identity as a gay/bisexual man coming to terms with addiction while simultaneously battling bipolar disorder. Rather than just a memoir, it is a testament to the indomitably of human spirit navigating the complexities of life.

Hard Pill to Swallow: My Manic Memoir will inspire you, touch you, and open your eyes to a side of mental health rarely examined in such authentic depths. Mark Logan's compelling journey is a must-listen for anyone who seeks a better understanding of mental health, addiction, and recovery. Don't wait another moment. Pick up your copy today and immerse yourself in this remarkable story of survival, resilience, and transformation.
