I might as well post my experiences in the psych wards, the YMCA, the shelters, support groups, day centers, therapy groups and elsewhere on here, changing everyone's names of course. If I saved it for a book, then despite the changed names I'd still have to track them all down to get their permission (And some would say no and others are dead, so I wouldn't get it and rightly so), because I'd be making money off them, and I don't want to make money off anyone... it's wrong even WITH their permission. That permission might have been given from a place of fear or uncertainty rather than a place of enthusiasm. Here, I can write the full story (with all names changed of course) and won't be profiting from it. It can and will help more people this way. I'm glad I finally came to this conclusion. Took me long enough.
When you need more than just the news.
