My Name is John…

My story from knee high to sky high

John is a 34-year-old manic-depressive. In John’s case manic highs are often followed by mildly depressive lows. My Name is John… is a journey through the denials and delusions of this mood disorder to the point of its acceptance.

It is not an easy journey since John must deal with a mysterious experience while a university student in Galway where he works out the number of the names of two northern Irish politicians at 666, and with strange coincidences in the middle of his first period of illness in 1990 while he was working as a traineeaccountant in Belfast.

In subsequent episodes of illness, John becomes ‘sky high’ in more senses than one.

My Name is John… is startling in its honesty, and an intelligent, comprehensive and often humorous insight into the devastating effects of manic-depressive illness on one person’s life.
