It is the account of having a successful career in spite of debilitating depression sometimes working in the public eye on as many as 5 medications at a time. It is the story of someone who was given what most would think is everything in life to live successfully and the self-hate that developed in spite of the education and privilege afforded her.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is also an in-depth description of what it feels like to live in the \"black hole.\" I describe the black hole as a state in which there is no hope, no emotion (other than fear and anxiety), no interest, and no ability to function in the world, even in the simplest ways.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI describe the changes I went through as I had TMS treatments and what they have allowed me to do. The in-depth description of this new FDA-approved treatment gives the reader the ability to actually understand the changes and feelings of well-being that begin to evolve as I had more and more treatments. It also touches on the fact that I have been on a maintenance program of TMS which few people have chosen to do and how effective that program is for me.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, it is a cry to tell one's story as a major part of healing instead of hiding in shame from the incorrect perception that depression still has the stigma that it had 40 years ago. It is a plea to encourage others to seek treatment and to talk about mental illness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51459144483039,"sku":"9780997213386","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/LX71kkQmhP9780997213386.webp?v=1790362611"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/schatzie-brunner.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
