At last, two years after Bipolar Me was published, the sequel, Bipolar Us, has come out!
Again, its content is drawn from my posts on this blog. But this time the focus is widened to include not just my own experiences, but those of us bipolar people interacting in society. Included in it are topics of interest to a general audience as well as persons with bipolar disorder – among them stigma, gaslighting, and suicidal thoughts.
If you notice, there’s a copy of the book cover in the right column of this blog. Clicking on it will take you to Amazon, where you can order the paperback. (I’m still working on making an ebook available and will let you know when it’s ready.) The book is also available through Barnes & Noble and other outlets.
As regular readers of this blog will know, it’s been a real struggle getting this book to come to fruition. I feel great satisfaction in knowing that I’ve accomplished this. But I will feel even greater satisfaction if my book can help someone living with bipolar disorder cope with it a little better – or help a friend, family member, or loved one understand what living with bipolar means.
So – shameless plug! – buy a copy for yourself. Buy one for a friend or family member! And if you don’t want to or can’t buy a copy, ask your local library if they will offer Bipolar Us in their stacks.
There’s also news about my first book, Bipolar Me. It’s about to go into its second edition and will be available soon! I’ll keep you posted on that, too.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make these books possible, and to everyone who has shown an interest in them.

“Once again, author Janet Coburn shares awesome, helpful insights in “Bipolar Us”
I’ve enjoyed reading Janet Coburn’s popular “Bipolar Me” blog for years. The blog’s tagline “Bipolar 2 From Inside and Out” is very fitting for her blog and her books.
Janet writes about bipolar disorder in such a pragmatic, circumspective way. At almost 400 pages, Janet’s first book “Bipolar Me” contains a wealth of information. Her second book “Bipolar Us” is a fantastic collection of posts drawn from her blog.
Janet has clearly put her heart into the creation of this book so that it will help the reader. Her writing is concise and perceptive. Anyone who has bipolar disorder (or cares about someone who has bipolar) will benefit from reading “Bipolar Us.”
On Amazon (soon, I just submitted it on 2/26) & Goodreads 🌞
