This is my first review ever...although, I felt compelled to do so...the movie was portrayed in such a way that you couldn’t help but truly feel & understand her pain...Suffering from it myself reminded me of when I would go off my meds... I don’t think it was as severe as Linda, I was surrounded by family that I “trusted” & they always knew when I went off meds...it took some time to find the right medicine...also suffering with a few auto immune diseases, the depression was chalked up to that...I am 53 years old & still at times have to adjust my meds, I am aware when it’s not working & need tweaking. I have 2 beautiful girls & I am divorced due to domestic abuse. I hope this helps those who don’t suffer from mental illness understand their loved ones better...they say people are more accepting of this horrible disease, I feel differently....I always say: if someone says they are so called “normal “ then they are not!😉. I believe everyone deals with mental issues at some point in their life, although it sticks with some of us. Mental illness has been on my fathers side...I feel mine is similar to my grandmother, I wish she was alive to talk about it with me...my uncle committed suicide when I was in my junior year in high school like it was yesterday by hanging himself... I believe that is what has kept me from doing same. Thanks for listening & enjoy the sanity when you can! 😊. Thank you to Linda for sharing her story with us.
