Leaving Cloud 9
If you ever wanted to know how mental illness can effect people, Leaving Cloud 9 is a great read.
This book could've been written by my someone I used to know. There are so many comparisons to things he went through as a child, yet in some ways, his experience was different too.
I was so young at the time - 16, and I was pretty nieve. I didn't know anything about mental illness. If I did, I really think things would have ended differently. I wish that I could've helped him get the help he needed.
I really think people struggling with mental illness just need someone to love them, and walk beside them and to get them help, wether that's medication or therapy, etc... they really just need someone to believe in them.
I believe everyone could benefit from reading cloud nine!
