Book excerpt: This is the story of my life and the lives of those Ive loved! There are quotes I have picked up over the years on every page and at the beginning of every chapter. This is not a very long book. But most of it was written out in longhand. Short and sweet, eh? My struggles have been many, but they have the happy ending of sanity with the help of medication. I hope it will be the inspiration of mental patients everywhere. I also really hope people will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
