This book is one of the major reasons my life is on a positive trend in recent months. In Feb and March, as some of you know, I put all the legal pieces together and tied up my loose ends…..I was ready to drive from PHX to SF and act on the lure of the Bridge. I had severe insomnia and had not slept more than 3 or 4 hours in several days. I found this book online, ordered it for my Kindle. I read it straight through (thank you, insomnia).
I don’t have Kevin’s Bi-Polar disorder, nor do I have Schizophrenia….I am diagnosed with treatment resistant MDD. Even so, Kevin’s story has helped me. This is a little video of a presentation on living mentally well he recently gave:

His bio is called Cracked, Not Broken and I highly recommend it…..it certainly got me through the night.
Peace and prayers………..

Thanks for sharing this info. Just the other day i was looking up on amazon for selfhelp books or something along that line, might give this one a try 🙂
My sleep has been all over the place too, maybe two hours yesterday morning.
It’s amazing what a well timed encouraging word can do. Thursday, I was moving ahead with my preparations, and a credible person said something suggesting she saw something valuable in me. I know it sounds silly, but it calmed the storm somewhat.
Here I am 36 hours later and fried, and feeling so walled in.
Kevin mentions his parents drug use and MDD. I was surprised to read research about pot use and the correlation to depression and MDD. It’s really not very funny. But I’ve also been reading about amazing healings using quantum energy . It would be nice to focus.
I can see the appeal of the bridge, but I’ve heard stories of what the Coast Guard recovers.
