Lost Boy - Bipolar Dreaming by Jocelyn Price
This is the story of my son Cameron, who committed suicide five years ago. He suffered from bi-polar disorder. It is about his life, his dreams, his good times and his not so good times. It is my journey too. It is about the mistakes I made in dealing with Cameron and then my realisation and finally my understanding. Above all the most important thing I learned was to listen.
This book is a mixture of sadness and happiness, indifference and compassion, despair and hope, loss and recovery, lows and highs. These are all part of the shadow world for a person living with mental illness. I hope Cameron's story might be read by people who are in a similar position. I hope they will benefit from my experiences.
