  I am glad that mental illness is leaving the closet. It's less and less the "unspeakable" illness. Getting validation from the medical community that you have a diagnosable, measurable mixed-up chemistry in your head, and it's not just "in your head" can be so liberating. Treatments have improved dramatically in the past 60 years.

  Why do I say that? Because my maternal grandmother committed suicide in an asylum 60 years ago. Back then they did not have the treatments they do today. Back then, the family did not talk about it. The family story was that she died of pneumonia.

  That little lie, forty years later, nearly killed my mom, as she came down with the same illness. Finally a family member spoke up...after mom had suffered over eleven shock treatments.

  I've witnessed the dramatic improvement in medications in the past twenty years. When mom started, all they had was lithium. Now, there's a whole raft of medications available. Mom was healthy enough a few years ago to be considered for a kidney transplant. She's had a long life with the improvements in medical care, and she can be treated in the community with only a few stops at the hospital over the years.

  I'm doubly glad that Crumpet spoke up. If she inspired one more person (KW13) to go for treatment, she's done the world a great deed. Bravo to both of you for facing your deepest fears.

  Dear KW13,

  (((HUGS)))

  I am so sorry you aren't well!! As you know the first step in feeling better is acknowledging you need help, so I am so glad you are getting the needed help.

  Prayer always makes me feel better. "Throw your burden on God because he himself will sustain you.."

  We are here for you too.

  Sincerely,

  Lady Liberty
