What if the weather inside you was just as real as the weather outside? The Weather Inside Me is a poetry chapbook about living with bipolar disorder, learning how to stay, and discovering that healing doesn’t mean clear skies — it means learning how to stand in the rain without letting it wash you away. Through raw, intimate poems, Mary Dunlap captures the swing between light and darkness, mania and depression, hope and exhaustion. These poems speak to the quiet moments between extremes, the fear of feeling too much, and the courage it takes to choose life again and again. This collection is for: anyone who lives with mental illness - anyone who has loved someone who does - anyone learning to hold both grief and gratitude - anyone still here on the hard days The Weather Inside Me doesn’t promise an ending without storms — it offers companionship through them. A reminder that even when the dark returns, you are not broken, and you are not alone.
