Katie Conibear is a friend I met first online and then in person... In the meantime, they (nonbinary at the time of publishing) had published this book, discussing the realities of living with bipolar disorder and sharing practical tips and advice.

This book is divided into chapters, all written in a way that the average person will understand, with explanations of specific jargons kept to a minimum.

They explain different symptoms, whether mania, hypomania, psychosis or even depression, which accompany the ups and downs of this disorder - hence the title, which means "living at the speed of light ".

There are  tips for managing relationships, dealing with stigma and discrimination, and learning to be comfortable with stability.

A chapter is dedicated to how friends, family and caregivers can support practically.
