Wired Wrong book about my life growing up with mental illness and bipolar

Description Jeanie Walsh was just a small-town girl from the East Coast with Hollywood Dreams, trying to make it to the top in the fashion industry while being challenged daily with bipolar, borderline personality disorder, anxiety disorder, and dissociative fugue. Her father told her she was wired wrong since she was a child, but it only fueled the fire inside of her to fight and prove to herself that her mental illness does not define her.

For the first time, Jeanie Walsh openly shares her story in the raw, detailing all the struggles she persevered through while building a career in a world where everything looks glamorous amongst picture-perfect people. Nobody in this arena discusses what’s going on mentally with them, leaving those battling mental illness to feel alone, but the truth is they’re not. Many people, like Jeanie, struggle daily to feel safe with themselves, struggle to feel all right inside their own skin, struggle with thoughts that sometimes take over, and more than anything, struggle with being misunderstood every day. Jeanie’s story is one of hope, inspiration, and truth to let others know in similar situations that they are not alone and to help others learn to understand. Jeanie Walsh’s love and passion for fashion was her outlet and escape from the daily struggles of mental illness that she’s battled with all her life.
