There is a tonne of first-person literature out there telling about experiences of MH.
I've read a tonne of it. And watched so many tv shows and movies on this theme.
Does anyone have any advice of media/books dealing with recovery from MH struggles? I'm really interested also to read about ppl who have survived attempts.
The only book I know about this is Rosie Waterland Every Lie I've Ever Told
I found some support in the chapter on addiction in So Sad Today - but that was otherwise a harrowing book.
there is a truly heartwarming movie called "brittany runs a marathon" a true story about a depressed woman who sets a goal to start running. Not what you'd expect though, not glorifying excercise or weight loss as "the cure" at all and has a message related to inner strength and beauty, and the bumps and lessons along the way in healing. loved it. beautiful.
Hi Boudica, loved ur input earlier about Sylvia Plath. It sounds like you could feel for her , which I always felt too. You showed me that. I related to Tulips even before being in a MH hospital , the concepts are deep.
Loving the podcast from Michael Theo, from Love on the Spectrum, where he interviews a variety of people, including some who have grown through trauma.
He chooses really interesting guests with a lot of depth, its a nice listen
