MY NEW BOOK

HIGH FUNCTIONING MESS

When life is perfect but your mental health doesn't know it

AVAILABLE NOW!

HIGH FUNCTIONING MESS

is the debut publication from Nivani Bhimsan

What started out as a way of documenting my journey into healing my mental health became a therapeutic part of the healing process itself. In an attempt to release some burdens and share some authenticity with my daughter and close family, I have poured out my soul in these pages.

I never intended for my first writing project to be so autobiographical but I guess I had to get this book out of my system in order for readers to have context for any literary work that follows from here. You get to know who I am and what I’m about on a deep and personal level.

Listen to my discussion of High Functioning Mess with my sister Suvani on the "I'm Not The Only One" Podcast

In sharing her stories and the powerful letters to her daughter, Nivani gives us the privilege of entry into her inner worlds and, in doing so, provides some of the answers to these complex questions. No, it is not a self- help book. The personal revelations are more illuminating than self-help manuals. They provide the context within which we reflect on our own lives, and they allow us to connect with ourselves.

Prof. Vishanthie Sewpaul

Thank you for being willing to lay yourself bare like this for the sake of healing and helping others. You are an inspiring woman and this is a brave and loving thing you have done for your daughter and your village. This book is a good and necessary work and a voice like yours (one that speaks with humble authority, informed understanding and tenderness towards hurting people) is sorely needed in the community.

My sister I’m am so proud of you👏 what you have achieved here is not easy! Thank you for sharing this with me! You really do have a calling. I grew excited even as I started reading the contents page. You created something of value. You have a unique story and perspective to share that’s relatable and real. I believe you are natural born writer and storyteller. Tell your story and share it with the world. We are all better off for it, it moved me and it will move and inspire others. I’ve identified with so much of what you have mentioned. You’ve helped me as well by sharing, honestly brilliant!❤️
