My book "Remains of a Cloud" is about my struggle fighting a mental illness quite common but not known enough to people; my struggle to win over the Bipolar disorder called also mania and depression was unbelievable and a dream comes true. This disorder, complicated, painful and powerful as well, emerged from my body after the delivery of my first boy. My sickness and my enormous suffering lasted close to thirty years with a break of four years. This incredible sickness knew too well how to ravage my body and my soul and brought me to insanity.

I was an intelligent girl and I started school at the age of four, I was interested in studying, which I did even during times of sickness as well and in spite of all I am a math teacher with two degrees, but my mental state and my moods did not make it easy on me.

My sickness run through three different periods; I was a depressed woman almost endlessly. My hypomania time was a time of fake happiness but it did not feel fake to me. This period was always accompanied with depressions and when one of the two went off stage, the second one showed up and the first one vanished as if it had never existed; this is one of my incredible medical experiences I went through.

I went up the third stage as goes a prisoner to the gallows, I went through a very dangerous mania and a medicine called Depakote helped me to recover when doctors did not know if I would ever overcome from the mania.

Around six years ago I triumphed the bipolar nightmare and not only with medicine. Psychotherapy was more than beneficial; but in order to become the one I am today I needed as well, will, courage, endurance and much more, and if this was not enough against the bipolar venom, optimism was the start of my every day.

I lived a non-boring and rewarding life, my book tells it; "Remains of a Cloud,” tells about a cloud that challenged my life.
