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!
