Radical honesty always. Right, Karin?

This is Darker Dialogues.

I am Karin Ross.

This is my own life. I have only one. It's a small one. But my singular life affects more people each day.

I'm here to record my darker dialogues. They're the difficult conversations that happened, are happening, or will happen in my life. They may happen with myself or with others.

Why?

Because I'm choosing to feel the darkness.

I'm learning to thrive in the rapid-cycling cataclysm that is my bipolar mind.

I'm seeking to understand it to stop myself from succumbing to the deadly symptoms of this brain disease.

I will show my kids how to thrive if they have my illness, the same illness that stole our two dead gentle men.
