A Journey of Hope: One Woman's Struggles with Mental Illness

By Mary Connolly

The silence was shattered by a deep, thunderous man's voice. It sounded like it came from a place of great power. Commanding yet reassuring, it said, "This is a message from God. You are my chosen one. You are going to do something extraordinary with your life."

After hearing this voice, Bridget suffered a series of life-altering events that left her unable to perform simple, rote tasks, caused her to avoid all contact with everyone but her immediate family, and led to her being admitted to a psychiatric unit for two nights. Follow along to see how she embarks on her journey of healing, from seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist to finding the right balance of medication needed to get her back to where she was before hearing the voice.

This book explains what bipolar disorder is, outlines medications that work to combat it, describes Bridget's journey with God, and talks about how the stigma of mental illness has been somewhat alleviated but that there is still work to be done.

Bridget hopes the book brings comfort to people with mental illness and helps them feel less lonely. The book, hopefully, will provide peace and inspiration to others who are going along the same journey--a journey of hope.
