Hi all,
My name is K and I work as a writing assistant on a book project called Inspired Recovery.
Working on this book and hearing the life stories of these truly magnificent people and their struggle with mental illness has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. I have really begun to believe that mental illness is not the end of the world - there is a chance. You just have to be willing to work at it. Not that it's as easy as all that! It's a constant fight and a fierce struggle just to maintain a balance that those without mental illness take for granted.
The hardships some of these people have gone through, not just in conjunction with mental illness but within their everyday lives as well, have really helped to put things into perspective for me. Thinking about those facing alcohol and drug abuse, dysfunctional relationships, assault, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia makes my concern about the weekly budget just disappear.
The opportunity to work on this book, is an opportunity for deep personal growth and understanding that I am truly thankful for.
K
