MY BOOK IS GETTING PUBLISHED!!!
To all my wonderful friends on DS,
My book has been accepted for publication with Chipmunka Publishing. I found this out on March 17, 2011 in the wee morning hours from the amazing company, and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to write their story about mental health for publication. It is entitled, "Survival: A Memoir in Dealing with Rape and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." I am so excited!!! If you would like for me to come and speak about my book in your area after reading it, please let me know. The purpose of the book was inspire survivors of rape and PTSD to know that they have hope in their daily struggles from their trauma. As soon as it is on the market as an ebook for 6-9 months, I will post another link to it on here for you to purchase and read it. After that timeframe, it will become a hardback. One will have the opportunity to buy it through Amazon, Barnes and Noble and so many others.
Blessings,

This is SUCH an inspiration to me. If you dont know my story.. i\'d love to share it with you .. someitme. My whole life , I wanted nothing more than to be a nurse; but that day changed my whole life. I was left perplexed with what to do with the rest of my life. AFter a suicide attempt , and working with some amazing people, I found a new purpose in life.. and am 3 credits from graduating with my degreee in social work and criminlogy .. I just did a 5 month internship in mental health ; my REAL passion. Is was dx with PTSD about 4yrs ago; but what we as a society have done to the mentally ill is why i am so passionate about my work. Made to feel as lesser people.. like criminals, and throw aways, .. our country needs to make great strides in educating others about mental illness.
Id love to read your book.. and i know there are several RAPE CRISIS agencencys here that would greatly benefit from hearing you speak out.
I have a good friend.. named mindy - i met on DS.. who i still am trying to encrouage to speake out after she was brutally raped by a friend; and never reported it . She lives in constant fear. He was her first and only sexual partner. Despite having a very loving bf of many years, she is lost.. the man who raped her contnues to stalk her, damage her car.. and try to make her fearful to seek help. She has never sought any counseling.
I dont know if you have any words of encrouagement for her.. for perhpas suggestions as to what a supportive friend can say? Even with expereince in the field, and being raped in my past; I feel at a loss for words.
You truly are an inspiration.. to so many women.. to those women who will never share their story..
Please keep me updated on when this book will be available.
