Jump: How Chronic Illness Made Me Well - 5930

Jump is a memoir exploring the loss of identity experienced when diagnosed with a chronic illness. Beyond this, it is a journey into the author's realization, after relentless attempts at healing her bladder disease, that true healing would only come from learning how to be alive in every moment: sick or not. Callie was a mom of three, who woke up at the age of 32 to a pain in her bladder which wouldn't leave for years. As a licensed psychologist, she was surprised at the impact a chronic illness would have on her mental health and emotional wellbeing. She was also unprepared for how little mental health support was available to those with chronic illness. As she started to heal, she used her background in research to uncover the truth of what happens to one's identity when they are faced with an illness they must deal with...forever. Jump takes the reader through diagnosis, grief, and ultimately teaches the lesson many learn when they are faced with life's most difficult trials: that waking up to the beauty of living in the moment and finding the joy in the process of self discovery, far surpasses the comfortability of counting on a pain free tomorrow.
