Synopsis

This is a feel-good story of one man's life, my own. I felt compelled to write this book, hopefully to save the thousands of other people who suffer from mental illness and keep them from the pain that I went through. I want everyone to know through reading this book—there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Today is not like the 1960's and 1970's. When I grew up no one talked about depression. This book takes the reader on the roller coaster journey I experienced from first to twelfth grades, explaining all along the way the problems that I had with ADD and my parents thinking I had a reading problem in third grade. It also addresses behavioral issues that I exhibited. These were finally linked to the learning disorders, which resulted in depression in my later years. I sensed that my parents were doing the best they could and what they felt was right for me, but I never got the help that I needed and at thirteen, as I enter my teen years, it all starts going downhill like a snowball. I got into smoking and drugs to get the acceptance that I thought I needed. The end nearly comes in 2001 where after a failed marriage and a business that is not going well I decided to commit suicide. I have it all planned out. When, where, how—but because of my children I decide not to do it. That is why I dedicated the book to them. In the end, I get right down to the reason I wrote the book. You can get healthy, lead a very productive life, and make something of yourself.
