    Oh Bethany thank you for sharing your story in such an honest manner. My now ex-girlfriend is going through a relapse due to her not taking medication for three days in a row and then entering psychosis and me becoming the evil person in her life. I now have to play the waiting game until she is yet again hospitalised,hopefully sooner rather than later. When she is stable and comprehends I am not the threat to her that her paranoid thoughts are telling her I hopefully will be able to watch all of your videos with her. Thank you again for being so brutally honest with your life experiences and sincerely hope that life treats you well.

    Spending time alone in that library would have been lonely but also the mind left alone creates more delusions. Your awrsome for talking about it. Sydney Australia 🦘🌏❤

    "I didn't know that I needed help. I couldn't see it. I had no insight." Thank you, Bethany. The issue as a feature of mental illness is, I believe, a problem of consciousness. Consciousness is the foundation upon which a person's character is constructed. We have a notion of the eternal child in us, that is consciousness. We are the same person at 2 years old that we are at 52 but vastly different in many ways except the natural continuity of consciousness. I asked myself if the conditions of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's disease, and so on impact a person's consciousness? I conclude that, no, while addictive, cognitive or affective disorders may interfere with normal processes, cloud and confuse the senses the continuity of consciousness is intact. So then we have the basis for the phenomenon of (for neurotics-denial, a defense mechanism) but in powerful disruptions, such as psychosis we have "anosognosia", "lack of insight", the mentally ill individual does not think they have a mental illness despite the complaints of those close to us, despite the evidence and long painful experience. It is as the illness happens to the person in a process that is mental illness. In recovery, the natural continuity of consciousness remains. With treatment, psychotherapy and medication, the symptoms of mental illness resolve, health is restored.
    It was like a bolt from the blue when I realized that was what happens to the resilient in the worst situations, religions teach it. it is fundamental-obscured by a million distractions through the minutiae of experience: My illness and my circumstances are not who I am. Our illnesses, challenges, our circumstances are not who we are. That perspective explains quite a lot.

    How to keep in touch with your children who are addicted or running away from you. Get them a cell phone and put it on your plan. You can check the phone record to see where they are and if at any moment that they want to talk to you because they become desperate all they have to do is press the call button. I have been doing this for years and it works. They just think they are getting a free phone.

    Thank you for telling us your story. I live in the Midwest not far from Ohio. I can't afford to take a trip to Florida and was wondering where did you get the monies to travel across the world a few times?
