Xanthe Wyse

Picture
Xanthe Wyse is passionate about creative expression as therapy. She writes about love and loss with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), from her experiences with these diagnoses.

Her pet-themed semiautobiographical novel, Pet Purpose: Your Unspoken Voice, took seven years from conception to publication. She recently published a raw, minimally edited memoir, Bipolar Cringe that she wrote before she completed Pet Purpose.

She is currently writing a second memoir, Bipolar Courage. She had two art as therapy exhibitions and was an independent mental health advocate for over two years, as Bipolar Courage.

She is no longer publicly advocating for mental health but has left her videos up on YouTube as a resource.

Picture
Semi-Autobiographical Erotic Romance

Heni is a 'rescuer' - she tries to rescue pets and men. That's where the cliché ends. Nothing is predictable with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Heni suppresses intense, painful emotions from sexual abuse trauma tangled up with unexpressed grief. What happens when grief and trauma is suppressed long-term?

What is it like to lose everything? A story of determination, survival and courage.

Bipolar Cringe

Picture
Memoir, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Sexual Relationships, Erotic Memoir

An open marriage after two decades of monogamy: what could possibly go wrong?

Content warning: explicit erotic scenes and trauma.

A raw, gutsy, memoir written at the time events unfolded, to process the events triggered by hypersexuality with undiagnosed bipolar disorder with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Most of the content of this book was omitted from the author's semiautobiographical novel, Pet Purpose: Your Unspoken Voice.

This is an unfiltered, graphic account of the encounters of an open marriage. Written as an attempt at the time to try to process, while the author was unwell and headed for a breakdown, resulting in being admitted to a psychiatric unit.
