Well, it’s real. My paperback and ebook are live on amazon. After two years, a ton of money, blood, sweat, and a ridiculous amount of tears….and a super amount of support from so many people who love me, my dream has become a reality.
Before you jump over and buy a copy, though, please hear this. I get three times as much of a royalty if you buy the book directly from me than if you buy it from amazon, and I have a LOT of money to recoup and repay my mom, so if you are at all able to buy it directly, please consider it.
I will be having a selling/signing party on July 13th, and I would love to have you there. If you are not able to attend but live close, let me know and we can work something out. If you live far away but want an autographed copy, it will cost $5 more to help me pay for shipping. Otherwise, amazon is great, too. I just want to get the book into as many hands as possible.
For direct payment, I will accept cash, check, paypal, and venmo. If it’s a check, please make it out to Mental Health Moments, LLC.
Also, please just know, as you will see when you read this, bipolar is a cyclical disease. This is a very bad time for my bipolar, and I’m going to be doing ECT, which I promised myself I would never do again. If we talk and I’m not super excited about the book, please don’t be offended, it’s hard enough to just get out of bed. Also, please avoid telling me things like “it will get better”, they’re really triggering. It WILL get better…for a while…but then it will get just as bad, over and over, which I am deeply grieving right now because I’m in the middle of it. Better things to tell me are, “I’m here for you”, or “I’m so sorry you’re going through this". Remember, though, every person is different and what works for me doesn’t necessarily work for everyone else.
Thank you for all your love and support. There were many days that I didn’t think there was even a chance that we would get to this point. And here it is. So let’s celebrate!!
Love,
Liz
