Journey

About the Book

We all have the power to improve, filling us with love, peace, and happiness. We are no less of a person due to any illness. Our personal goals can be achieved with coping tools described and demonstrated in Journey. Suggestions, thoughts, advice, and encouragement toward recovery are given through my life expertise. I will guide you to your potential power and recovery. This easy-to-read true story is not geared toward just the mentally ill but also any ailing soul and for health care providers. Differing from most books, I show exactly what it’s like to live through years of hardships and struggles from the perspective of the mentally ill. I have graphically and explicitly detailed the unimaginable pain and suffering of myself and many others. Journey is highly instrumental in understanding and coping with an illness and can be a great aid for caregivers in supporting the needy. I demonstrate paths to a happy, constructive, and prosperous life. My experiences with violence, rape, anorexia, depression, suicide, psychosis, self-mutilation, and more are explained, as I reach out to others with compassion and support.
