"In my mind lie a box and a silent world, that I try desperately to
escape from, every moment, of every day." Matthew Mark Nichols-May
1988
"Fifteen minutes at a time." That is the world of Matt Nichols,
a thirty-seven-year-old writer, elementary teacher, filmmaker, and
parent. He is a small percentage point of a growing population
living with the form of mental illness known as bipolar disorder,
formerly known as manic-depression. He has also been diagnosed with
ADD (attention deficit disorder), OCD (obsessive compulsive
disorder), SAD (social anxiety disorder), SMD (seasonal mood
disorder), and if you throw in a few more letters he'd be 3-D
(three-dimensional).
There are many wonderful self-help and success story
autobiographies that have been written to illustrate a life with
bipolar disorder. Yet, none like this. Nichols uses a unique blend
of "I am" poetry, sketches, anecdotes, and life experiences to show
a world, which is thought from inside the box. His observations are
remarkably accurate, thought provoking, and beautifully
written.
Topics range from the darkest issues of suicide, anger,
humiliation, and failure, to the inspirations of parenting, family,
nature, hope, and love. There is something for everyone. Nichols'
writing engages readers to share empathy, reflection, and common
experiences that weave their way throughout each of their own
lives, as it relates to nineteen years of his own experiences.
