Need a title to my book.?

Question

I have been writing a book about bi polar depression and alcoholism. The book is about my experiences with the illness and my work as a counselor and therapist. I am trying to come up with a good name for the book. Something profound and meaningful. I want people to see the title and want to read it. So I need some suggestions from all of you. Please let me know what the meaning of the title you suggest is. Thanks.

Not for Amusement - Getting off the roller coaster ride.

Answer 2

'Intoxicated Memoirs from The Nut Hut: A Guide to Alcoholism and Bipolar Disorder"
I suffer from both. I have been hospitalized 6 times, and out of those 6, alcohol played a part in 4. It is definitely a subject that needs to be discussed, as both play a big part in each other. Hope this helps! P.S. Will I get any royalties!! LOL If I saw a book like this, I would definitely read it.

Answer 3

Well if you are writing this book cause of the things you have delt with, and know, then why not go for a PHD in the subject, and make it a reseach like book, since you are doing it from the dealings you have with the people that you have treated. Or you can make it a self help book for those with these problems, so that they will get help and get better. Whatever the title, make sure what you are writting about is true, and you are trying to help not get in the way of someone getting help.

Answer 4

I have no title, it was hard enough to come up with the title for my own book.

Instead I would like to suggest something for your consideration.

I decided to write my book about my life, how I and others experience being MPD and surviving the abuse. A book of hope different from all others out there about MPD. Books that sadly are too often writen by therapists and when you get a chance to talk with the person whose life the books is suppose to be based upon, they tell you they agreed to the book because they felt they had to. Both Sybil and Eve have said this about the books writen about them and so have most MPD's when asked if the book was an accurate reflection of their life.

One thing I learned from interviewing thousands of individuals with depression, individuals who'd survived abuse, etc., is that you never write about your clients. It upsets clients and if you have not personally gone through what you are writing about, then you are always writing about the issue as an observer, who usually only sees each client for no more then two hours a week. We live outside therapy, out stories are more then what you hear during sessions.

If you are writing about being Bi-polar because you are Bi-polar then your book may help and if you've been an alcohalic, you'll understand it from the inside out. If not, understand how upseting it is to those of us who read yet one more book from the therapists point of view, as they saw their patients problems. If you want to direct it towards therapists, great. Please find out how patients other than your own view the book, if you are directing it to people who are Bi-polar and alcohalics.

Before you publish your book, consider putting an AD in a large city newspaper asking for people with Bi-polar, outside your client base, to read the book and give someone other then you feedback on the book. If they say it's accurate then go for it even if you are not Bi-polar, but if you are not Bi-polar and they tell you it's not accurate, please don't publish it. In the AD, state that you are looking to have people who have been stable for two or more years, who have the diagnosis of Bi-polar, to evaluate a book about people who are Bi-polar and Alcohalics.

Just an idea; thought I'd suggest it to you.

Hope your book helps a lot of people in search of HOPE.

Answer 6

Well, that is interesting! I am both, bipolar and a recovering alcoholic. I would say the feelings that goes with the two, would lend to a good title, as well as "good" reading. So, lets see:
*Journey of Two Worlds
*Ups and Downs of Bipolar and Alcoholism
*How Bipolar and Alcoholism Relate
*Bipolar and Alcoholism
I like the first one I suggested, as I did feel like I was in two worlds. You drink to shut your mind off, and you drink to "have fun." You drink to "feel GOOD" instead of depressed all the time. Before I was diagnosed, the drinking was my escape from my mind. It was like I was enslaved to both, bipolar and drinking. In actuality, I was enslaved to both, since I didn't know how to control either one, or understand either one. I have 8-9 yrs. of recovery time now, and have been diagnosed since 1995. Once I was thoroughly convinced I was bipolar/alcoholic, I found solice in knowing that there was something REALLY wrong with my mind, and solice in the fact that there was medication for my "stinkin thinkin" other than the 12-Steps. However, after I was medicated, the 12-Steps and my HP was what brought me back to sanity. Another suggestion of a title: SANITY AFTER BIPOLAR AND ALCOHOLISM

Answer 7

i'm unsure what my famous is, yet i've got consistently loved - If i might Killed Him as quickly as I Met Him (Sharyn McCrumb). This identify made me snigger: hi, Lied the Agent: And different Bullsh*t You pay attention as a Hollywood television author (Ian Gurvitz). right this is a "WHAT!" identify: Reusing previous Graves (Douglas Davies). Taken from Shakespeare's Macbeth, i like the identify something wicked this way Comes (Ray Bradbury). nonetheless so nicely prevalent now that individuals often do no longer think of approximately it, A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens) replaced into relatively a extremely clever identify. The meaning of a carol may be "a song of compliment or exhilaration" so it replaced right into a play on words. A e book as a song. i like that. there are a number of titles i like. working example, Funerals are deadly (Agatha Christie), the value of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde), Please bypass the Guilt (Rex Stout) and The Haunted guy and the Ghost's good deal (that's a novella, Charles Dickens). I additionally like how James Herriot used the verse from an previous English hymn to call 4 books in his sequence (nonetheless the hymn has the 1st 2 strains switched & is observed as All issues staggering and eye-catching): All Creatures large and Small All issues staggering and eye-catching All issues sensible and delightful our lord god Made all of them.

Answer 8

I think the title should REALLY come from you. Youre creating and opening up about a very personal experience, and trying to help others by doing so. Its only fitting that you title your own experiences and suggestions, and comes from your own feelings on the subjects. Good Luck with the book, and its nice to see that you are trying to help people with it!!

Answer 9

Well.... Seeing the symbol in your ID ...it looks to me like the TAURUS sign symbol.
Reading your text.... I got the title.

"IT'S ALL MINE"

Experiences, Information, Knowledge, Texts (for the book). plus the Taurian symbol which represents a "mine" attitude (properties, assets, obsession).
On the other hand...... we have "mines" in minefields and they are dangerous. They can kill because of our ignorance or wrong handling.

I don't know your "writing".... but the content is obvious somehow "Dangerous".


Good Luck:)
