I read this in a waiting room the past week.

Mental illness doesn’t define who we are. We see the rain and feel the rain. But we are not the rain.

A little about life with mental illness. I’ll read your stories later. I haven’t written any books but I have written some thought putting how I feel at that time in words.

Hi Alisa.

I’ve never had a near death experiences but I have been to the dark side of sever chronic depression. The dark hole I call it. Several times I’ve come close to falling in all the way. How I got away Is by sheer force of mind to defeat this evil disease. As I may have it but it remains inside with the barriers up so that you don’t see people snickering, whispering and their total ignorance with mental illness.

Your email said chapters 6, 7, and 8. I only saw chapter 6.

Yes. I changed the headline later after realizing all 3 chapters would be too long! The email retained the first headline. Ch. 7 and coming next week!

Okay thanks! I thought I was losing my mind. Although these days that's a very real possibility.
