About The Author

Let me introduce myself. My name is Brenda and I’m the creator of this lovely site titled, Beautifully Cracked: My Life Bipolar. My hope is to help others who struggle with the illness, as well as to help those who have loved ones struggling with it. 

So, what makes me an expert on this subject? Well, I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 1, as well as general anxiety disorder, and PTSD. In other words, I live this on a daily basis, whether I want to or not. Add in that I hold a BA in English from Purdue University, with my major in Professional Writing, so writing about this seems only natural.

One of my hopes is to also bring in guest contributors from time to time, as I feel that we all can learn from one another.

So, sit back, and get ready for the ride, because just like ups and downs of bipolar, you never know what is going to come out of my mind.
