Radio interview about my memoir on recovery

By inspire Friday, October 08, 2010

Hello,

Yesterday I was interviewed live on People First Radio CHLY 101.7 FM about my memoir "My Schizophrenic Life: The Road to Recovery from Mental Illness." It went well. The interviewer quoted from the book and had some excellent questions. I spoke about my experiences and struggle with schizoaffective disorder.

I Admire you and also would like to Thank You for getting your story published so others can learnwhat it is like living with a serious Mental Illness!

Dear Janet,

 

Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to be recognized by others after years of feeling I wasn't good enough because I was ill. After 30 years of illness, I can reflect with more objectivity and see the cup as half full not half empty.

 

Even though I'm not cured, I believe recovery is possible and those with MI can lead productive, full lives.

 

Thanks Again!
