Love Me: A Memoir of Online Dating, Mental Illness and Redemption

When Oshun Reed met Fabian Pascale online in 2016, she had no idea that 58 days later, she would learn he had scammed her out of $122,000 and that their whirlwind romance was, in fact, an elaborate con. The trauma and grief of this betrayal triggered a massive psychological and emotional crisis that led to Oshun’s admission to a psychiatric ward and diagnosis of bipolar disorder. In the months that followed, Oshun rode the rollercoaster of manic highs and dark lows as she struggled to come to terms with what had happened to her. Many of the choices she made, just before and after her diagnosis, were not always good ones and, in some instances, poorly impacted her already fragile mental state. Most of Love Me: A Memoir of Online Dating, Mental Illness and Redemption was written during this heart-wrenching time of heightened mood and deep-seated anguish. Finally, after a chance meeting, Oshun arrived at a place where she could accept the betrayal of her troubled past and move forward into a joyful and love-filled future. If you are struggling with the aftermath of a scam, a new bipolar diagnosis, or both, or want to read a story about redemption after bitter betrayal, Love Me provides a roadmap to healing and hope. —- ISBN: 9798337738376 | ISBN10: B0DFTJNY71 | ISBN-13: 979-8337738376
