Synopsis
The Death Monkey Rides is a poignant and touching memoir about the struggle between professional success and personal failure, all the while battling depression and fighting thoughts of suicide. This book is a must read for anyone who is dealing with clinical depression or knows someone who is.
Beginning in the 1980’s, for more than two decades, Phil ‘The Bean’ Sisneros, was a familiar voice in the morning on Albuquerque’s KOB-FM radio. He was the funny news guy part of a two-man team, dedicated to waking up listeners and helping them start their day with a smile. Almost no one knew that the Bean grappled with sometimes severe Depression that often pushed him to that edge that no one likes to think or talk about. This is a message of hope to former listeners and anyone who has dealt with or maybe is still grappling with thoughts of suicide.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For the first time, thoughts of suicide floated in and out of my mind. I think my mind imploded, yet I confided in no one and managed daily to put on the happy face and demeanor of The Bean. The Death Monkey RidesHaving a "monkey on my back" is an idiom that can describe a burden, a heavy weight to carry, or a problem that won't go away. For me that monkey represented thoughts of suicide that became heavier and more frequent over time. I learned that my own mental Depression is what provided fertile ground for the monkey to grow. This animal clung to my back for years whispering in my ear that all my troubles would go away if I just worked up the courage to kill myself. Sometimes I agreed with the monkey of death. Starting during childhood, that little bastard hitched a ride on my shoulders and got bigger and heavier as I grew up. He's still barely clinging to my back and still tries to talk to me occasionally. But with a lot of help from therapists and anti-depression medications, the monkey has become almost weightless, and I don't hear his voice anymore. With any luck he'll eventually be gone for good. With professional treatment most people can learn how to deal with their Depression. I believe this illness can affect anyone, no matter who they are, what they do for a living or what face they wear in public. There is help out there and you deserve it. Phil Sisneros was for two decades the most popular radio personality in New Mexico. His oversized personality endeared him to everyone, but he was hiding a dark secret. He had been dealing with Depression since childhood. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
