Read this book. Regardless if you yourself have struggled with your mental health or not. Michelle takes you on an unfiltered journey through her own battles and triumphs. She looks the stigmas of mental illness in the eyes and challenges them, and invites you along for the ride. She is a survivor and shows her strength through this book time and time again. I was inspired and was reminded that it is ok, to not be ok. But also that you are never alone in that. I encourage you to read it, read it again and share it with your friends and family.
