I have a hero in Mental Health advocacy. She lived in Quebec and now lives in Toronto. Her name is Pat Capponi and she is now an author and mental health advocate. I hope to meet her one day.
In her book "Beyond the Crazy House" she writes the following:
" It is not helpful to believe that the universe has singled you out for destruction .... Asking 'why me?' is a kind of arrogance. No one is guaranteed safe passage through life, and this should tell us it's less about the suffering and challenges than what we do to face them."
I am going to read how to post information about books on this site because I really believe this one that we should all read. And the author has been through so much. In fact, you need to read her first book so that you don't think "yeah, easy for you to say".
I think it's time for me to read this book once again ....
