My name is Danielle, I am 30 years old and 2013 I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.
I am currently writing a trilogy of books names “Letters I Cant Write - The Affects of Mental Illness From The Beggining” taking a look at the key stages of my life and from age 17 to present day and delving into the harsh reality of living with a mental illness and how it affected me and those around me.
Ive always had a passion for writing but because of the way the past 13 years have played out for myself I have never been able to get out of my own head enough to start looking into telling this story. I am lucky now that I have found medication that works and can focus my mind so that I can help others who are facing torment from theirs.
I believe as someone who has been through mental health issues I can connect to an audience who need to be understood or need to know they are not alone in how they feel. I am passionate about helping others and hopefully educating people on real life aspects of mental illness
