Sometimes I daydream…
![Page 5: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Sometimes I am sad…
![Page 6: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I may be frustrated…
![Page 7: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
I may have a flight of ideas…
![Page 8: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Or seem like two different people…
![Page 9: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
I may puzzle you…
![Page 10: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I long for acceptance…
![Page 11: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I may see things differently…
![Page 12: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sometimes I want to escape…
![Page 13: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I may be recognized for my brilliance someday…
![Page 14: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stress can cause a mental illness to manifest itself.
![Page 15: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
There are many pieces to mental illness.

I have a mental illness.
![Page 18: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Do you see me?

I have an illness of the brain that can be measured and is diagnosed just like a physical illness.
![Page 21: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“WE DON’T EAT CHILDREN!!!”

Open your mind!
![Page 23: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

You can help set me free…
![Page 25: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

If we work together…
![Page 27: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
And you are open minded…
![Page 28: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
You can understand that this isn’t me…
![Page 29: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
I didn’t do this to myself…
![Page 30: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Please Listen!
![Page 31: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Don’t judge me by the medications I
take.
![Page 32: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
I am NOT med-seeking, I require medications to correct the chemical imbalance in my brain.
![Page 33: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The medications may help the pieces fit together…
![Page 34: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Professionals such as doctors, lawyers and nurses may need mental health services in their lifetime!
![Page 35: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What if I was your grandfather?
![Page 36: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
I feel like enough of an outsider
already…
![Page 37: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
I may just think differently than you. It is human nature to fear what we don’t understand!
![Page 38: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What do you see?!!!
![Page 39: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Now concentrate…
![Page 40: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
I don’t lie on a couch and discuss my mother with a Freudian therapist!
![Page 41: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
I am a child.
![Page 42: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
I am a senior.
![Page 43: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Have you ever felt like you might be
CRAZY?
![Page 44: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What would happen? What did you picture?
![Page 45: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Did you picture this place?
![Page 46: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Or this?
![Page 47: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Or did you desire caring and patience while you got the help you deserved?
![Page 48: Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c480934a7959cc7c8b45a8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
