double dipping re a book. i was in the self help dept. of barnes and noble some years ago. my eye spotted an unusual title, a boy called "it" by david peltzer. he was severely abused as a child. his mother was schiz. this book and others following (i purchased all) of his life during time periods all eventually ended up on the NY times best seller list.
so catchy titles do help, imo.
i might add that i choose not to allow my MI define me. but that's just me. others here still struggle in spite of help. i feel that taking care of themselves in the most important thing they can do as i posted earlier.
