In 2018, model Rosie Viva experienced a psychotic episode at Stansted Airport that led to her arrest and the full evacuation of the terminal. What followed was a hospital stay, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and a complete upheaval of her life.

In Completely Normal and Totally Fine, Rosie shares her powerful and deeply human story – from the dizzying highs of mania to the isolating lows of depression, and the long, complex road to recovery. With honesty, humour and heart, she explores how her diagnosis reshaped her understanding of love, identity, friendship and purpose.

This is more than a memoir about mental illness – it’s a story of resilience, acceptance and hope. Rosie challenges the stigma surrounding bipolar disorder and opens up conversations about mental health, reminding readers that no one is truly alone in their struggles.

Whether you live with bipolar yourself, love someone who does, or simply want a greater understanding of the human mind, Completely Normal and Totally Fine offers comfort, insight, and an uplifting message of strength through vulnerability.
