"Electroboy" is my memoir about my battle with bipolar disorder and which is being made into a feature film with Timothee Chalamet. The book is out of print - I have h/c and p/b copies which I inscribe to you and ship overnight to you. The cost is $30 for a h/c and $20 for a p/c - send me a DM!
Hope your Sunday is awesome Andy
I presume shipping costs to UK would be prohibitive. Hopefully it will come back into print soon.v😊
Oh I definitely will be getting this book!
It's Andy Behrman, the author of "Electroboy." Just send a DM to me @electroboyusa.bsky.social and I'll take care of you, sign a copy to you and pay to overnight it by Fedex to you! It's all pretty easy!
Done messaged you.
I wrote back to you!
Wow, congratulations Andy. I remember following you on twitter many years ago and you were dealing with custody issues. I bet your child(ren) are proud of you.
Thank you so much. I ended up with custody!
Awesome!
Congrats
I would like to buy a p/c please!
I will DM you now, okay?
Your movie does sound much more interesting.
They'll have to call it something else. There's a Swiss male model who's called Electroboy and had a movie made about him with the same name.
I have the copyright on the name "Electroboy" and what you're referring to below is an infringement that has already been settled. I won!
It's still out there though. As a previously mis-diagnosed bi-polar I would love to see your movie. I do see your book is available on Goodreads.
I was also misdiagnosed - - seven times!
I think I'm good now. Meds are level, mood is good, affect is appropriate.
Or directly from me and I can sign it you -- just DM me!
Congrats Andy
Congrats on the movie and on being portrayed by such a charismatic actor.
If you'd like a signed copy of "Electroboy," which I'll inscribe personally to you and ship to you overnight, please send me a direct message. I'm the only source for brand new first edition hardcover and paperback books.
I would like to request a signed copy of electro boy. What is the cost, please?
That’s a promising journey. Congratulations Andy!
Thanks so much, Corey -- appreciate it!
The question is, which link is the film in?
The film is in development. It's based on the book which was published by Random House years ago. I'm not sure what you mean by your question?
I was talking about the movie and thought there would be a link for it. Heck, the book can open doors to people’s hearts once they take an interest to its story.
Not yet -- the deal was signed a few weeks ago! Curiously, the book continues to do well, mostly because it's used in Psych 101 and Abnormal Psych classes in colleges and universities.
Sounds like it narrows down to mental health. Anyone living with bipolar disorder can benefit greatly by reading your work. Just like I did when we were in Twitter. Enough of that quagmire, more about your work.
What else would you like to know?
How you’re faring with all the bedlam going around and how proud I am that you’re making a difference. I could go on in length about this, but this is your moment and you’re doing something special for those who are like you.
Thanks so much, Corey. If you're speaking about the chaos/hell being caused by Trump in our country, it's more stressful for me than I ever thought it would be because this type of anxiety is just not great for someone with bipolar disorder.
Hell to the fucking yeah !
I highly recommend this book (besides the fact that I adore this man!😁) It's brutally honest but a great read! #Electroboy thanks Andy for bringing your story to the public - I can't wait to see the movie!
You're too sweet, Theresa!
Just love ya, my friend!🥰🤗
I bet it won’t be out of print for long. Enjoy the ride, Andy. This is awesome. 👏
Thanks so much, Bryan!
Such wonderful news. Congratulations!💫🙏💙
Thanks, Jeanne -- DM me if you'd like a signed copy of "Electroboy" -- you'll have it by Tuesday -- faster shipping than anyone else!
Congratulations Andy! 🫶
Thank you so much -- I'll admit -- it is exciting!
AWESOME!
Thanks so much and if you want to reserve your copy of "Electroboy" which I'll sign to you (the book is no longer published and won't go back into publication until the film comes out), send me a DM. I own the brand new inventory! And I'll pay for overnight FedEx shipping!
congrats - that's fantastic
Can you get it on audio?

I'm here!
That’s awesome. My mom suffered from delusional bipolar disorder, which in turn made those in her life suffer greatly. It’s a hard thing to battle. Much respect.
I'm really sorry for your mom and the entire family. There are no words except, "It's tough as hell" and "It's brutal." I'm one of the really lucky ones. Just barely. But I had great psychiatric support which unfortunately most Americans can't afford because of insurance or just access. It sucks.
Thank you. It was only my family ( husband and kids) and her the last 20 years of her life so I bore the brunt of it. Left a lot of emotional scars. But, she suffered a lot too. Best of luck to you in staying healthy!!
Again, I'm so sorry because I knew how my condition (and behavior) hurt my parents and my sister. But I suffered for more than a decade until I was diagnosed at age 28. It's shocking that I ever got married and had two incredible daughters. Things were not heading in that direction -- ever. Thanks.
It’s like most people can imagine what it’s like to have a sick family member, but unless you have a family member with mental illness you have absolutely no idea what it’s like. There is no logic to it, the disease just takes over. I’m sure your parents are thrilled for who you’ve become 😊
Mental illness is not only the silent killer, but it's "going on in the head of the patient" and if you're family, you can't even begin to understand what it feels like 24/7. I understand now. When I look back, I can't even believe some of things that I did were me. My parents are beyond thrilled. ❤️
Congrats Andy!!!
Thanks so much, Jen!
You are very welcome! Can’t wait to see the movie. Keep us updated on your thoughts — changes made, good/bad.
Congratulations on the feature film!!! Awesome.
Thanks very much -- I'm quite shocked -- it's taken a long time!
To happen at all is remarkable. A good friend wrote one the best scripts I have ever read. Ie, he had already done the work. It’s still bouncing around. So, again, BIG CONGRATULATIONS. Probably means you also get to go to the Oscars in ‘27! I was at Tony’s (close friend had award winner. A blast!)
I'd kill to go to the Tony's -- what an experience! Thanks again for your congratulations -- I'll be happy if the film is made -- I could live without an Oscar nomination, but. . .
Congratulations!! That’s amazing.

Congratulations!
Thank you, Dana!
I have this book.
It's awesome. And very helpful.
Thank you!
It has helped me! And has helped me help my patients.🫂❤️
You bear a striking resemblance to Timothy Chalamet
I've been told that before, Ara -- but I'm so much older. Ugh.
Congrats again, Andy!
Thanks so much, Jenny!
That's great news Andy. And well deserved.
Thanks so much, Doug!!!
Learn with this excellent, fascinating book from @electroboyusa.bsky.social #ElectroboyByAndyBehrman
How does one go about acquiring one of those copies?
Please send me a DM, Melissa!
Will do!
That’s incredible news! So glad I have my signed copy! 💙💙
Yowza, yes you do! Sending you a DM in a few!
💙
I really enjoyed your memoir.
Thanks so much, Sharon. I remember you very well, actually!
Wow! Congratulations, Andy!
Thanks so much, Janice! I appreciate it. Now I'm sending you a DM!
Timothy could pass as you. 👍
😂 Do you think?
I do. 😘
This therapist thanks you for speaking out!
And I thank you for the work that you do -- I could never have made it through a decade long journey of recovery -- and it was not easy -- without an incredible psychiatrist and such a devoted psychotherapist!
I regularly turn to professional therapists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals for advice. I've met some extraordinary people. I've also met the opposite. Our ability to function and kick goals depends on mental and emotional well-being. #Resist
🥹 Awww, shucks! Thank you for the kind words. Keep making good choices!
That's the problem with invisible illnesses -- we're not gushing blood and sometimes people tell us to "snap out of it."
I love this -- thank you so much!
You never recovery From B... you're medicated...
I use recovery to mean "coping and managing," and I do both very well. Never did I dream that I would work full-time or ever have a family and be part of a community. But when you say "medicated," you make it sound pretty horrible. I have taken two medications once a day for almost 25 years.
It's wonderful you have a movie being made. You must be someone special.. Everyone has a different life with BY...they are not all as fortunate at you to be a Superstar at the end.... look at the homeless. These are pretty powerful drugs that can do their own damage to the nervesious system.
Wow Andy that is great news!!!
Thanks so much, MisterBeeee!
Oh, no!
This is what she did three days later… file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/8c/12/3851E538-9D27-4627-B7A4-9456C320BB21/IMG_8098.HEIC
