Depression Poetry

Life goes in a circle from birth to death. Life can lead us down a depressed path, resulting in addictions and darkness. Losing loved ones reminds us how precious life can be. We share drinks, smiles, and laughs with friends. People come and go throughout our lives, leaving lessons we either learn or live by. This book is exactly that. Life met head-on.

Obsession Depression and Madness goes deep into the psychosis of a man who lives with schizophrenia. It deals with the obsessive thinking that results from having delusions of persecution. It is very intense to say the least. It will take your mind to places you could only imagine. It will definitely make you feel for the author. These are poems from the vault of Timothy Paul Brown along with some recent poems. They were excluded from his other books for fear of judgement. He no longer is afraid to reveal these innermost thoughts, ideas, emotions and experiences to the world.

A little over a year of living with bipolar type one. I ended a year off of medications deeply in love and with a stay in jail for joy-riding and fleeing and eluding. My family suffered, my friends suffered, and I suffered. This is a journal starting after my stay in jail. I respond to the journal entries all the following year, surprised mostly by the degree of my mental illness. This is not a self-help audiobook, and I struggle most of the time, not really coming up with many good solutions to my issues. Nothing about the past couple years has been easy.
