Trying to find the light when you are out of your depth
by Carly Nicole
At the peak of her life, Lily Barker endured a tragic psychotic break. She was besieged with hallucinations and delusions. The diagnosis of bipolar tore things apart and pushed her further away from her husband and children. This set in motion a spiral of events that in a few short months changed her entire life. She continued to slide further into the abyss.
A drama, Swim the Abyss is based on a true story of a real person’s actual experiences. All names, places and certain details have been changed for the purposes of anonymity.
