Bipolar Disorder Through My Eyes: A Memoir of Hope

David William Weisner

In this transformative memoir, a man confronts the harsh realities of living with bipolar disorder. Battling suicidal depression, manic episodes, homelessness, and repeated stays in psychiatric hospitals and jails, he reveals his journey through severe mental illness. Despite the turmoil, his life stands as a testament to overcoming immense obstacles and gaining profound spiritual insights.


From a young age, he sought wisdom and meaning, even in the darkest times. Music became his sanctuary, a language to express his soul's depths. Teaching himself to read music and play the piano at five, and later studying classical guitar in his twenties, music was not just a hobby but a lifeline.


When the storm of his mental illness began to calm with the help of a compassionate doctor, he found stability. This allowed him to pursue a degree in Sociology and become a mentor, sharing his passion for music with others. Despite relentless challenges, he cultivated happiness and gratitude.


His creative spirit flourished as a singer/songwriter at nineteen, and his poetic voice found an audience in his thirties when he began to publish his work. Now, in his fifties, his heart is set on giving hope to others who suf fer from mental illness. He is a beacon of belief that with faith in God, one can navigate through the fiercest storms and emerge stronger. His story is a testament to resilience, the transformative power of faith, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.


This memoir is not just a recounting of hardships but a powerful narrative of resilience, hope, and the unwavering human spirit. It invites readers to see beyond the challenges of mental illness and embrace the possibility of a fulfilling and meaningful life.
