Silently Screaming

Does the mental health system have you feeling frustrated, lost, or given up on? Like you don’t matter? Do your thoughts swirl around in your mind, and you feel alone; like no one out there understands what you are thinking, feeling, and going through? Millions of people suffer in silence with mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, or even a combination of several ailments. What do you do when it seems like no one takes you seriously, or you can’t afford treatment, or seemingly one obstacle after another is put in front of you- rendering you hopeless and helpless. Sometimes, looking toward creative methods to find relief can also be a thing.From being a sad and confused teenager to being an abused wife, and then a terrified single mother resorting to drugs and toxic relationships, this story is a rollercoaster of emotion that reflects the life of Martinez. Through writing, she was able to overcome her many challenges, while traditional therapy left her feeling lost, confused, and betrayed. Silently Screaming is an opportunity to view mental illness through the eyes of someone going through the misery and troubles in life while dealing with the mental health system in America. A unique, however relatable story told based on over 20 years of journal keeping, peppered in with poetry, as well as actual information pulled from medical records received from psychologists and counselors. This book allows the reader to journey through the tumultuous life of someone directly affected with Borderline Personality Disorder. Whether you are a mental health professional, someone who suffers from BPD or other mental illnesses, or a family member of a sufferer, seeking understanding into the world of mental illness, Silently Screaming provides solace.
