I made a book of poetry right before I first had symptoms of bipolar. It was called “Under Construction”. I wrote poetry throughout my mental health journey and was thinking of releasing it with some stories about living with bipolar called “demolition”. The poems are pretty dark. 

My question is, when you read dark poetry you can relate to, does it make you feel worse or better? I don’t want to put a book of poetry out there that is going to make the situation worse for people with mental health issues… my hope is that it might inspire someone or make them not feel alone.
