GIFTS FOR THOSE WANTING TO RECOVER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS!

Latest Review of MY MENTAL MADNESS MEMOIR

"Mental Madness Memoir: The Provocative True Journey Through My Struggles with Mental Illness
The author shares her experiences with severe mental illness in her life and the ways it affected her as she got into her teens and twenties going forward. A very moving story relating all of the frightening times she went through, not understanding what was happening to her or why her life kept falling apart. How she at last got things under control and made progress. A good read for memoir readers, those with an interest in or having family members with mental illnesses, especially multiple mental illnesses, a super honest, illuminating book on the topic. If you’ve never had or seen what real mental illness looks like, then you need to read this and get educated and help get rid of the stigma. This isn’t the Dark Ages anymore, folks. Stephanie was brave enough to share her story, honestly as possible and it’s not easy to listen to her painful hurting, and loneliness at times. She has some serious mental illnesses that messed up her life repeatedly until she got a handle on what the problem was, and that took many years. She wants her struggles to help others, and I really hope it does. A complimentary audio copy was provided by the author for my honest yet voluntary review."

HOW TO GIVE A MEANINGFUL GIFT THIS CHRISTMAS


Are you unsure of what to give a loved one this coming Christmas?  Another toy?  Perhaps an outfit?  Maybe perfume?  Sure, the list goes on and on with ideas of what would be the perfect gift.  But really do they NEED another toy, another outfit, or another bottle of perfume??  Sure, those might seem to be nice, and even expensive, but are they truly meaningful and thoughtful?  Do they truly come from the heart??   I think not!

Why not give a gift that offers your support and encouragement?  Why not offer a gift that will benefit the recipient?  A gift that shows that you love and care for them… a gift that will help them… a gift that may even save their life!!

Ok.  You may be wondering what this gift could be…
????????????????

Have you ever given someone you love a self-help book?  Self-help books can motivate and encourage individuals to better themselves.  Self-help books often inspire a reader to make needed changes in their lives.  Self-help books are also defined as self-development books, and that is exactly what they do!!  They help the reader “develop” a better “self”!

There are many, many, self help books out there, so you may be wondering where to start.  How about reading books from an author who has not only been a mental health professional, but has also suffered from mental illness for over 25 years?  This author would surely be very well-rounded and extremely creditable.  She’s seen been sides of the “mental health” epidemic, and also she has even earned a degree in clinical psychology.

Sure, if an author like that exists, I would surely read mental health recovery books written by her!!  

Well, an author like that does exist.  Check out the following books:
·         My Mental Madness Memoir
·         How to Survive Depression
·         How to Survive Bipolar Disorder
·         How to Survive Schizophrenia
·         How to Survive Anxiety
·         How to Survive Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
·         How to Survive PTSD
(All books available in eBook, paperback, and audiobook)

Amazing titles? Yes, I think so.  And what is astonishingly amazing is that the author suffered with all those conditions and still defied the odds and emerged from the depths of Hell.  She overcame pain and suffering, and she achieved a happy existence with mental stability. And has been given another chance at life.

Who is this author?  Well, frankly, she is ME!  And I want you to know that I have written these books to reach out to those in need.  There are so many people that need help, and these books can be a great starting point or used for reference and inspiration by those who suffer silently.  I need you to help your loved ones.  And this is where to begin, as you can offer these books as aides in someone’s journey of recovery.

Much love to you all this holiday season!  Stay strong and keep marching forward!  You are loved!

A COMMENT ALL MUST SEE NOW!


BY: Virginia Wilkins
“What I love about your self help books is that the are truthful, informative, realistic, easy to read, gets to the point, and you share your experiences which give hope.  You do not exclude God, which is very important, because He is the real key to every part of one’s life.  Yet, you do not push Him on anyone… Even through a persons healing process, you give choice.  And I love the fact you are compassionate… the genuine concern for others to get help and heal… You express unconditional love and care in your books and it can be felt…  I have never read any books to be as warm, real, and full of compassion, that is really reaching out to the reader of your books… You pour your love into helping others.  I say you have truly found your passionate assignment from God, your purpose for being here, and all you went through… Your pleasing in the eyes of God… Continue to grow in Christ daily as you encourage others to accept life as it is and not give up on hope, faith, and very important themselves and others…  You encourage so many to hold on, and do more than survive but live…”

Showing Gratitude During Thanksgiving...


By: STEPHANIE ANNE ALLEN (AUTHOR of My Mental Madness Memoir, How to Survive Depression, How to Survive Bipolar Disorder, How to Survive Schizophrenia, How to Survive Anxiety, How to Survive Borderline Personality Disorder, and How to Survive PTSD)

Thanksgiving is just one day a year that we should show how thankful we are for the things in our lives.  But truthfully, we should be grateful every day, even if it’s only for the little things.  Life itself is a gift to be thankful for.  God and your parents gave you life, and if this is all you think you have to be grateful for, then show your gratitude for that.

It’s the little things in life that many of us that for granted.  We are richer than you could ever imagine.  We have families and we have friends.  We have jobs, homes, and cars.  We have beds to sleep in and electricity to provide us light.  We often overlook the greatness of all that and simply conclude that we deserve it or are obligated to receive those things.  But friends we are not entitled to anything.  What we do have is a gift from God.  And we should be thankful for all of it. 

When you lose all the little things, it is at that time that you realize how blessed you truly were.  But then it may be too late… 

There are people in your life, that you say you love, that struggle every single day.  They struggle to keep food on the table or to pay for running water.  But I’d like to focus this on the loved ones in your life that suffer from mental illness.  Many struggle in silence, because of stigma and the fear of being judged.  I encourage you to reach out to those who need a helping hand.  Give them a hand, and you may be the one to save a life.

God put these people in your life, so that you would learn to love unconditionally.  We must trust in his purpose for us.  Our purpose is to spread love to one another.  Love those struggling with mental illness, by showing them how much you care.  Show them that they matter to you.  These are people who you loved before they got sick, so please love them now in their darkened times.  They are the same person they were before.  They are just sick with an illness that affects their brain.
You can help these people greatly by helping them help themselves.  Offer them the resources they need to restore and rebuild their lives. 

I have authored 7 inspirational books on mental health recovery.  These books empower the reader by offering hope, inspiration, encouragement, insight, and tips on how to cope.  I myself was one who dealt with a tremendous amount of internal pain.  But I survived.  Use my life as an example and a model on which you can help others. 

My Mental Madness Memoir is a powerful book that dives deep into the depressed, manic, borderline, delusional, and psychotic mind.  It is a painful story, but also one that shows how I beat all the given odds my finding the courage, strength, faith, hope, and love to overcome it all.
The How to Survive Series includes: How to Survive Depression, How to Survive Bipolar Disorder, How to Survive Schizophrenia, How to Survive Anxiety, How to Survive Borderline Personality Disorder, and How to Survive PTSD.

These are the perfect gifts to give to someone whom you are blessed to have part of your life.  Show your gratitude and appreciation for them by giving them the gift of hope and love.  Show them how much them mean to you and how much you support them during their struggle.

You can find all my books on Amazon in eBook, paperback, and audiobook.
