Striving For Normalcy

The Mental Illness Rollercoaster

Published on April 1, 2014

Frances R. Armstrong is a wife, a mother of three children, and grandparent of four. She is a published author of paranormal romance as Franny Armstrong. Living in Ontario, Canada, her entire life, she chose to share her experiences with mental illness rather than hide in her home and suffer in silence. It's important to her that the stigma of mental illness is removed so that people will learn about it and not fear it.

With one in five people diagnosed with the many forms of mental illness, Frances decided to talk to people about how it's affected not only her life, but the lives of so many others. She sought help as soon as she was diagnosed after a severe breakdown in 2002, and strives each day to battle the Bipolar II Disorder with her head held high.

Striving For Normalcy is based on her personal experiences, and references from the internet, as well as a raving endorsement from an excellent, qualified psychiatrist, who has brought her out of the darkest days of her life. It is her hope that people will learn and understand the inner workings of the -DIS-EASE helping families and friends learn how to live with, not only the person who is ill, but change the way that society deals with those who suffer every day from an illness that rules their bodies and minds.

You CAN be well!
