I'm Thriving with my Mental Illness and so can you, my book details personalized components to bring your mind to a balance. Guess what's in my purse, Thriving with Mental illness speaks to the Deep Depression Tornado System Theory (DDTST), an unpacked understanding of symptoms. From the outside looking in, I should have been on the book circuit a long time ago. I would have never experienced the thriving perspective on mental illness if tragedy would have completed its course when I was seven years old. Now introducing "Me", a mother of four adult children and three grandchildren. A Chicagoan to the heart, I raised my children in the toughest projects in Chicago in 1999, Cabrini Green Project Rowhouses. Living an undiagnosed life, survived with the symptoms of bipolar I, PTSD, and cluster B personality disorder, now I'm on a mission to unpack the deepest thoughts and behaviors on these illnesseses, because if you let me tell it, you can thrive with a mental illness and live life to the fullest.
