I'm still reading it. It's a good book well written and interesting. I just finished the part about her English lover. I've about a third of the book to go.
It's interesting that as a clinical psychologist she was in denial so long...kind of makes me feel better about my own denial. My undergrad degree was in psychology and sociology....of course they don't cover much detail in undergrad but you'd think I would have cottoned on to something being wrong. I often thought of suicide but like Kay it was just something I had to muddle though and fake my way though. I was able to cover the severity of my illness at work for a long time. Like her my background was conservative and you pulled up the bootstraps and got on with it.
