Yes, it's A Mending Reality, An Advocate's Existential Journey with Mental Health.

Yes, I will say that as soon as I started putting pen to paper, I mean, and it flowed. Part of that writing experience was coping for me. The experience with psychosis, being in jail, thinking that I was a prophet, thinking that I discovered the truth of the universe. There was a grandiose nature to it too. It's such a challenging experience.

And even the incident with my dad, attacking him, that haunted my dreams for many years after the incident. So going through that writing process, it really served my own therapeutic process of just putting it out there and reading it and it helped to cope with it. And in many cases, it was triggering. But again, being vulnerable with myself, I think,

somehow found a way to overcome and get to the position where it's actually going to be released and i will say that i'm not terrified a lot of people have read this book but not the general public so it does get a lot of reads i'm not worried or stressed about how people might react to it because the way that i've written it i really think can impact people significantly and make them understand that type of experience a lot further

That's the most meaningful part of doing my work with this. Last year, about a year ago, stood before 200 plus mental health advocates at an advocacy day up in Albany. I had 10 minutes to share my story in a way that captivated them and inspired them to advocate right there. The way I structure my speaking, I try to make it gripping and pull you in.

The first sentence I say is, when I was 22 years old, facing a mental health crisis, I tried to kill my dad. And I remember when I say that, the audience, you see those gasps, you see those eyes widen, and then it's a hook that pulls them in. Then I take it apart, right? And I'm like, what could have prevented this? And they're seeing me at the stage.

They're seeing someone who's done that in front of them. And I think that in itself is, wow. There's a lot more to this story. There's so much more to the story. I did have many students come up to me after that talk, just thank me for being vulnerable and appreciating me doing that because the advocacy day is really meant to provide a space for that.
