The Illness is a novel that every family must read in order to give them the coping mechanisms that are needed in life. It is intoxicating and intriguing, and it explores life from the perspective of everyday families through mental illness, disabilities, and addictions. The book shows how everyday people cope with life and keep everything together by not letting the everyday battles that they face control or ruin their lives. At least thats what they think. The story is told in first person limited omniscient and is seen through the eyes of the narrator. His experience with each character and how he or she is dealing with life is unexpectedly told through his experience at work. However, the narrator has his own battles, and the major battle is the illness. The illness controls his every thought process and how he himself perceives the world.

This book is a look at how or about a man who has suffered all his life with many "mental health disorders" biological unhappiness and I feel that it is an important area that needs to be seen in order for us all to realize what it's like to fight the media, and the public along with the illnesses, medical staff that you may have to face not to mention the negative stigma that those of us with an illness have to face everyday, once we are branded! It is my hope that this may help someone in some area of mental health or those treating someone in the mental health arena and that may lead to someone's healing of the negativity that is so common place all around, and to also aleviate some of the negitive stigma and press, and bring us into a brand new area where it is OK to have a mental health disorder! So why don't you please take a look down the path that not many have ever seen, it's the me that I really don't want you to see and you really should not see ( IT SHOULD STAY PRIVATE, DAM THIS IS GOING TO BE EMBARRESSING! ) Yet it is vital for all those with mental illness and those treating mental illness and all those that want to understand the menatally ill, that you take a look at the me you should never see. Why don't you come on in and see a side of me that not many have ever seen and some shall never see, yet it is vital that you have a look. Come on in and take a look at what a life or a time in ones life's, that would classify as having mental health disorder is like and all the negativity that goes along with it, how your own family won't understand, how everyone will think you aren't trying hard enough! How a life of pain can lead one down a path that you should never see and that is very embarrassing to show you indeed, yet for the good of all man kind and for the advancement of the cause in giving those with a mental health disorder a better chance at a full recover, I believe this story needs to be seen, by everyeone, so please have a look at ME the uncensored version. I should mention the foul language in this book, this was not put in the book to gain readers or even to reach the younger generation. It was simply added to the book because that is how I used to be and would act with alochol in the picture and I believe you are starting to get the picture and the tone of my life at the time and REALLY FEEL how a severe mental health disorder litterally can take over and run your life, and some never recover they are stuck in a never ending cycle pain and suffering. So yes this is tuff and I feel this sort of language does not need to be used and I now refrain from using it in my life at all and I feel that you should never see but it is impairetive that you have a look for all those waiting and wanting to understand what a metal health disorder is all about! So when you are reading this try to understand where and at what point I was at in my life and please know that I am now set free, from all this negitive lifestyle!

The author, who has lived with multiple sclerosis most of her adult life, delves deeply into her own experience to reveal the keys to regaining emotional and spiritual wholeness when a serious illness or injury threatens to destroy one's sense of self. While serious illness, injury, or disability can physically alter the course of your life, it can also cause great emotional upheaval. It is not uncommon to feel anger, frustration, grief, fear, and denial as you try to accept a new way of living. As you lose your ability to do things you once considered routine, you may even feel that you are losing your self-worth, that your physical condition is threatening your identity. Through a step-by-step process designed to show that real healing has little to do with the state of the physical body, Noble Topf offers a compassionate and inspirational message to anyone whose sense of self is threatened by physical limitations.

A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • From the author of the award-winning debut story collection We Show What We Have Learned, an "atoundingly original” (The New York Times Book Review) work of historical fiction with shocking and eerie connections to our own time. At their newly founded school, Samuel Hood and his daughter, Caroline, promise a groundbreaking education for young women. But Caroline has grave misgivings. After all, her own unconventional education has left her unmarriageable and isolated, unsuited to the narrow roles afforded women in nineteenth-century New England. When a mysterious flock of red birds descends on the town, Caroline alone seems to find them unsettling. But it’s not long before the assembled students begin to manifest bizarre symptoms: rashes, seizures, headaches, verbal tics, night wanderings. One by one, they sicken. Fearing ruin for the school, Samuel overrules Caroline’s pleas to inform the girls’ parents and turns instead to a noted physician, a man whose sinister ministrations—based on a shocking historic treatment—horrify Caroline. As the men around her continue to dictate, disastrously, all terms of the girls’ experience, Caroline’s own body begins to betray her. To save herself and her young charges, she will have to defy every rule that has governed her life, her mind, her body, and her world.

The Life of Illness tells the story of one woman's courageous struggle with kidney failure, illness, and death. It is, however, a book about life, hope, faith, and the transformative power of caring for one another. Carol Olson writes "from the heart of experience," having shared a life of illness with two brothers and three sisters, whom she now survives. Her own life has been precariously maintained by kidney dialysis for more than twenty years. Inspired by the works of philosophers, literary authors, and poets, Olson turns to hermeneutical phenomenology to explore the meaning of the experience of illness. In response to the question, "How can we live with illness?" the author engages in reflective conversations. As patient, she dialogues with literary works of art dealing with illness, developing relationships between texts and others who experience illness from various points of view: the chaplain, the doctor, the nurse, and the parent. Olson makes us aware of the significance of others in their various caring relations with the person of illness. The clarity and deeply compelling nature of her writing makes this book accessible to all whose lives have been touched by these experiences. The experience of illness and death we all face impels us to wonder with her about the nature of wholeness and health. Ultimately we ask: "What is life?"

"Should be read by anyone with a body. . . . Relentlessly researched and undeniably smart." —The New York Times Named one of BuzzFeed's "Best Books of 2021" What Doesn't Kill You is the riveting account of a young journalist’s awakening to chronic illness, weaving together personal story and reporting to shed light on living with an ailment forever. Tessa Miller was an ambitious twentysomething writer in New York City when, on a random fall day, her stomach began to seize up. At first, she toughed it out through searing pain, taking sick days from work, unable to leave the bathroom or her bed. But when it became undeniable that something was seriously wrong, Miller gave in to family pressure and went to the hospital—beginning a years-long nightmare of procedures, misdiagnoses, and life-threatening infections. Once she was finally correctly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Miller faced another battle: accepting that she will never get better. Today, an astonishing three in five adults in the United States suffer from a chronic disease—a percentage expected to rise post-Covid. Whether the illness is arthritis, asthma, Crohn's, diabetes, endometriosis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, or any other incurable illness, and whether the sufferer is a colleague, a loved one, or you, these diseases have an impact on just about every one of us. Yet there remains an air of shame and isolation about the topic of chronic sickness. Millions must endure these disorders not only physically but also emotionally, balancing the stress of relationships and work amid the ever-present threat of health complications. Miller segues seamlessly from her dramatic personal experiences into a frank look at the cultural realities (medical, occupational, social) inherent in receiving a lifetime diagnosis. She offers hard-earned wisdom, solidarity, and an ultimately surprising promise of joy for those trying to make sense of it all.
