I Lost My Freaking Mind: Tales From a Psychotic Breakdown and Back chronicles the origins and warpath of a Minneapolis rock ‘n’ roll mom’s sudden psychotic breakdown and eventual inspirational and improbable recovery. Imparted with a dose of dark humor, this book offers front-row seats inside the mind of madness, providing an intimate view of what it’s like to go on a psychotic rampage -- and what it's like to cope with the aftermath.
I Lost My Freaking Mind… opens with the author's 2020 birthday arrest, then leaps backward in time to lay out a series of childhood anecdotes detailing her then-untreated mental illness and how such experiences led up to her arrest, psychosis, and subsequent hospitalization; diagnosis of schizoaffective bipolar disorder; traumatic inpatient treatment stay; and, disastrous discharge into the community. The reader tags along as the author struggles with the impact of her illness on her family, friends, and place in society; her pharmaceutical nightmare; rebuilding all she destroyed; and, the unimaginable journey of not only attempting to heal and recover in the face of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder -- but also to achieve independence and learn to be the mother her daughter truly deserves.
