This book has nothing really to do with mental illness ,however it will cause a major shift on how you feel about life, i myself thought for along time i got a raw deal ( most people actually agree i have had it extremely hard ) I have a rare disease that's fatal but This book changed me "Not Fade Away" by Rebecca Alexander she also has a rare disease , one that i would have a hard time swallowing or having the incredable perspective she does , a disease that as she ages she is going both blind and deaf , I have a disease that at the end I will still feel see hear but not be able to move breathe or even blink on my own , but losing those senses would just be truly painfull as I am a music collector and can find all manner of emotion in music and losing that would be ugliness I can't contemplate and having to stare at people and things so i don't forget who or what and there beauty is devastating.
I have all of the editions of this book including kindle so it's always with me.

I Think very highly of the book if you can't tell!
