From a talented growing writer comes a fearless, honest, memorable memoir about mental disease, which breaks the silence and shatters the taboos to give hope to all those desperate for their way through. 1 day Sophie Hardcastle realised the pleasure she'd always known possessed disappeared. She was constantly worn out, with no energy, no inspiration and no sense of entertainment for surfing, friends, conversations, videos, gatherings, family - for anything. Her hours became empty. And then, the month before she switched 17, that emptiness filled with an intense, intolerable sadness that made her scream and rip at her epidermis. Misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue then major unhappiness then temporal lobe epilepsy, she was finally informed - three years, two suicide makes an attempt and five hospital admissions later - that she possessed bipolar 1 disorder. In such a honest and beautifully informed memoir, Sophie lays bare her account of mental disease - of the teenage woman using drugs, alcohol and sex so that they can fix herself; of her family's anguish and her lack of self. It really is a fearless and hopeful account of version, of understanding how to recognize and of in the end realising that no matter how profound you have sunk, the top is always within reach. Running Like China shatters the silence and smashes the taboos around mental disease. It really is an unforgettable account.
