my loud whispers of hopeMay 19, 2018Uncategorized

Question: How do you talk to someone with bipolar disorder or any other mental illness?

Answer: The same as everyone else — with kindness, love, compassion and understanding.

Yep. There is no difference. Nothing to fear. It is simple. Be comfortable. Have fun. Notice how people with mental illness are the same as everyone else.

I am sure of the fact that you have talked with many, many people with mental illness and you never knew it. There are no stereotypical looks or mannerisms.

We blend in with the masses because we are the masses. That’s right. We are 1 in 4 of the population.

Having a mental illness is not a disability. It is a different ability.

Different is good. Different stands out. Be different and make a difference.

Use your difference to make a difference and…

one day your difference won’t be different at all.

I share my story openly and honestly to educate others and increase the awareness of mental illness, reduce stigma, prevent suicide, to inspire, give hope and let God's love shine through me and touch you. I finished writing, proofreading and editing my memoir in January of 2019. I am in the process of sending my manuscript to agents and publishers that accept unsolicited maunscripts. I pray my words will turn into a book that will inspire and spark joy and hope in the lives of many. Recovery and healing are possible. I am living proof.
