I Didn't Ask to Be Crazy is a collection of poetry and personal essays centered around mental illness.
Sadee Bee shares her journey with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD, through creativity and raw honesty.
It is a collection designed to convey the message you are not alone.
Sadee Bee is an up-and-coming poet with great interest in helping others understand that mental illness exists on a spectrum and not every experience is the same.
She hopes others in need find solace in her words and understand that even if suffering cannot be seen on the surface; it doesn't mean it isn't happening.
I Didn't Ask to Be Crazy is only the beginning.
Yes, the theme is dark and that is intentional.
As I write about my life with mental illness, I wanted to highlight the fact that not everything ends up being positive.
Sometimes dark moments are just dark moments.
This collection itself is representative of my dark moment.
While I am on the other side for the moment; take everything written with the knowledge that a lot of people have been where I have.
I Didn't Ask to Be Crazy is only a snippet of time in the wild world that is my mind.
