The Ultimate Guide To Life For Men With Mental Illness (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

So... You admitted to someone whom you care deeply for this heartsick pain within yourself. And nothing changed. Absolutely nothing positive changed. Maybe something negative even resulted. Right? Irrational as it appears: continued abandonment, ignorance, forced-upon solitude smacked you hard instead of "support & care". It hurts something awful, this damn darkness within. Yep, I get it, bro. Furthermore, the "Darkness and Cold Silence" visible in this dis-ease we are drowning in only adds to the unending daily misery and more pain. We beg, pleading, in our minds that it were not that way; it stays the same.

Make no mistake here, my brother. Seek Info. Ask Guys who know the deal. Knock on Doors of places you ain't ever been afore! Continue to delve; just try! And, heck yeah, push yourself to hope one more damn minute. For the needed Assistance usually comes in ways so verily unexpected, almost miraculous, and always so bewildering. Moreover, The Help arrives unseen by your eyes; it must be seen by your heart! The Help always arrives at the right time... IF... and only IF... we first choose to Believe! And then Cooperate! Yes, YOU must do "Your Part", and no one can tell you what Your Unique Part is! This book is here only to guide you to find "YOUR PART"!

There are many books written by the well-meaning, even Ivy-educated and top-clinic experienced professionals, which deal with just "mental health". Ask around; many people you know have read such books. The librarian can show you to dozen on the shelves after she has to scold the two boys splashing each other from the water fountain. So... Why then was *this* book written? And why should a 'real, down-home dude' (like you... or me) bother reading it? Because, broski, there are few (if any, really) mental health books in the system just for men. Adult men. And not just for "any man" -- for you, the authentic man, who knows damn well that other men don't get where you are coming from, no matter how much hard-pressed effort you put forth to be understood. It's almost as if... each of us is set up in The Fight alone... and must suffer the struggle daily, nonstop, like a hardcore cage match, one-on-one. The kicker is... you do have a Corner. You just don't know Him. (....yet!)

This book is here because I, myself -- a sufferer of a life-long jacked up mental health issue, as well as the oldest son of a very great HONEST man who suffered fatally -- saw the need. This is a book for men refusing to accept a label (manic, depressive, psychotic, delusional -- "they" list it; do your best to ignore it!) or, just as important, refusing to label others. A book that bars the damned lies about our "responsibility for becoming wrong-men". A book that does not punch our crotches with coerced resignation towards being flaccid due to being viewed or believed as broken. This is a book written by an authentic yet broken man, for other broken men who wish to become authentic.

I want to help you while it can still be easy for you to change your circumstances. I want you to know that you are NOT forever 'stuck' where you are right now with bad mental health. I want you to know that life is full of decisions, and that positive changes for your mental health can happen if you put your own efforts and faith into them. Nota Bene: To achieve the change you know you want, some of the effort is going to be downright blisteringly painful. You do have the possibility for positive change right in front of you, right now, whether or not you accept that reality. I did, like you, though it took me over three decades to 'accept and Believe'. All men do. Why not take it? Is there any good reason not to?! Name one good reason not to accept and Believe, and the counter will be the One Awesome Reason to jump off that wagon of disbelief and unacceptance. Your choice, brotado!
