Pendulum

Myca’s gutsy memoir challenges society’s current methods for diagnosing, treating and living with ‘mental illness’.

 

A true story based on the medical system we rely on today, her harrowing yet uplifting and inspiring experiences highlight flaws within the system and the ease at which life can change in a moment, both for better and worse.

 

So was she misdiagnosed?

 

Has she been cured of a widely believed incurable mental illness?

 

Or has she simply found a more holistic approach to living with or without bipolar disorder?

THE INVISIBLE GIRL

You can read my full story here, from when I was ten years old and what happened to me. I was admitted to a psychiatric unit at fifteen and continued to suffer throughout my adult life with feelings of self-hatred, fear, darkness and not knowing who I was. I used addictions to help me to cope on the outside when the inside was chaotic. I finally found my healing and had a burning desire to share this with the universe to give love, hope and inspiration to others in pain.

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass

Anton Chekhov
