I Will Not BE My Mental Illness

Are you in pain and exhausted in every possible way? Did your life turn into an unexpected nightmare that never seems to end? Are you looking for a fresh perspective that isn’t from a typical self-help book? Have you come to believe that you are merely your mental illness? I hear you, which is why I decided to write the book I wish I had read 5 years ago. Since the beginning, I have kept a personal journal of my struggles, realizations and the process of my recovery. Only now have I decided to share it. I am not writing for academics. I’m writing for you. No, for us, who are in the same struggle; that of being human. For years I lost hope of any kind of happy ending. Only now am I seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I gave up on life but was lucky enough to be given a second chance. That will mean nothing if I can’t help others. You probably feel lost, desperate and alone. Do you feel that void where something really important used to live? That flame of life that gave you a reason to keep going? If you feel as I have - that you have nothing to lose, I beg you to give this a chance. Join me on my journey beginning with the darkness of Part 1 through to the hope and self-discovery of my continuing work. I believe that together, we can overcome these demons and reach the light at the end of the tunnel!
