Summary of MY MENTAL MADNESS MEMOIR
by author Stephanie Anne Allen
My Mental Madness Memoir is the very
profound, provoking, and personal true story of my life. My life has seen much heartache and pain due
to suffering from several severe mental illnesses, including depression,
bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and borderline
personality disorder. I was plagued with
darkness, mental agony, internal turmoil, mania, delusions, hallucinations,
sadness, and loneliness to just name a few.
My insanity let me to committing a crime, at which time I was completely
“out of it”. And for the crime, I
suffered even more heartache and pain. I
also have a history of self-mutilation and suicidal attempts. I have been hospitalized psychiatrically more
times than you can count on your fingers and toes. I lost jobs, friends, relationships, cars,
homes, etc. I had completely hit so many
points in my life, where most people would have simply given up. But I was the exception! I beat all the many odds and emerged from my
mental madness.
Despite wanting to give up so many
times and wanting to just “end it”, I was able to find what I needed to turn my
chaotic life around. I found the
courage, strength, faith, and hope to convert my “rock bottom” into a
progressive upward direction of energy.
I was able to get the treatment that I very much needed to get well, but
that came after I achieved self-awareness of my illnesses. I achieved recovery and resilience, and now I
am sharing my story with the world, in an effort to end stigma and ignorance, and
to bring awareness to others on the topic of mental illness.
