Life Is Worth Getting Better

“I wrote this book thinking of you.” “Whether it's you or someone close to you, that may be suffering mild or severe Clinical Depression, Anxiety or Bipolar II in any whichever combination. I decided ahead of time, that if this book only helped you -in any way; then you were well worth my privilege to write it.” “Pain levels humanity. Suffering cannot distinguish your background, your age, or your credit score.’ “The purpose of this book is to encourage you. To let you know, or your loved one, you too can make it. You can recover from these terrible sicknesses.” “I have an obligation to tell somehow, that there is hope for you; that you can get well. You need to know, there's still more life left in you to live!” “The first chapters, describe how I felt when we had moved to England in 2012, and the depression hit my all time low.” “Later on, I describe how I started to feel better once I started my treatment. Although, it wasn't a straight line to recovery. It had my ups-and-downs, just as everyone else.” “At the end of the book, I describe the different things that worked for me in my recovery. I hope you may find them helpful.” “When you start to feel healthy again, you are going to laugh; and the sound of your laughter will probably bring tears to your eyes. You will cherish your life as you have never before. It will be your second chance at living.” “My feelings and thoughts combined a high level of guilt and helplessness; making it hard for me to get through the day.” “I remember thinking that surely this kind of feelings, came to people who had lost a loved one, or when a real tragedy had happened to someone. -Or, I don’t know, like if you messed up real big!” “I was missing everything. I missed America terribly. Mostly, I longed for who I used to be before I got so sick. I missed the life we use to have before we moved.” “Depression is a condition. It doesn’t define you.” “Then as I started to get better, I started to view my life in a whole different light. I could see glimpses of improvement.” “Suzy’s life just glowed. She reminded me that the weaker she got, the more others could see Jesus in her life. -Just like a punched metal lantern in which the light shines through it, in a beautiful pattern. If it weren't for the holes, -you’d see no light.” “Suzy’s life inspired mine to keep up the good fight. To get better because my life was worth it. She told me I was going to get better and I did.” “It finally dawned on me, I didn’t need to wait to for my life to be perfect to enjoy it.” I didn’t even need a formal invitation to start enjoying who I was. –Hello? Life was in session. Every minute counted as precious!”
