Here is the video where Adam of SeaTread Studios interviews me. It is 45 minutes, but I hope some of you will take the time to watch it.
Trigger Warning: talk of psychosis and suicide.
I just finished the interview. It is really very good. I was familiar with some of what you shared because of having read your book. I want to add that I loved your husband’s take on being married to you. Kind of like: well, isn’t this just what you do for the spouse you love? No martyrdom or self congratulation. It is clear that he gets just as much out of being with you as you do from being with him. You are a great and accessible advocate!

Thank you so much for watching the video! I really hope it helps people see those of us with schizophrenia as the person next door, but with an illness, like any other illness. 🙂

You did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing so openly. Your face really lit up when you introduced your hub. That was sweet. Adam did a good job, too. I’ll be checking out more of his episodes. God bless you, and may He continue to use you to bring hope to others.
