The Thoughts I See
A deeply personal account of Michelle's battle with mental illness, physical ailments, and societal stigmas, The Thoughts I See, aims to bring awareness to chronic illness, the failing health system, and myths about mental health and suicide. After a lifetime of struggles with depression, OCD, and suicidal thoughts, Michelle braves Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which serves as a framework for pivotal moments in her life.
Michelle's journey is marked by a history of mental health issues within the family, personal experiences with violent mental imagery, and the challenges of living with severe endometriosis and ischemic colitis. The story weaves through memories of childhood, relationships, and professional achievements, contrasting with the internal struggles of self-loathing and the fear of inherited mental illness.
The Thoughts I See is a testament to Michelle's resilience and a plea for understanding and acceptance of mental health issues. She seeks healing and the hope that sharing her story can help others find strength and seek help without shame.

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.
