Description
Each one of us wants to protect and nurture our loved ones. But if a friend or family member is grappling with a mental illness, it's likely there will have been times when you have felt powerless to help.
Having spent years in psychiatric hospitals, Gisel Josy has learned that ultimately, recovery is a decision - a choice that a patient must make. But the first steps are rarely made alone; loved ones can provide the incentive needed to help someone start on the road to full recovery.
Through detailing her own struggles with borderline personality disorder and Anorexia Nervosa, Gisel is determined to answer the questions that people might have about such an experience, from her perspective
as a survivor. What exactly makes recovery feel so tough? Why might someone appear to be choosing not to recover?
There are still many misinterpretations surrounding issues with mental health, which Gisel is passionate about dispelling. This book is more than an informative memoir; it is a heartfelt personal story, which the author hopes will impact on many people's lives, for the better.
