The first time Jessica Johnson Glover snapped, she walked outside naked with her Gucci bag and African cane. Her sanity left temporarily. However, after spending time in mental health hospitals, Jessica came to terms with her mental illness, accepted the help and support she needed to win and rise to the top.
However, taking control of her mental health wasn’t without determination, a proper diagnosis/treatment, and unyielding faith in God. Today, Jessica is insanely successful – personally and professionally, and she is a champion for those living with mental illness.
Jessica believes that by taking the correct medication-as prescribed- and practicing a balanced lifestyle, those battling mental illness can experience true freedom and live a life that’s far from crazy.
Rather than taking up page after page recalling moments of her life, author Jessica Johnson Glover uses an abbreviated approach to tell her story.
Far From Crazy… Success in Sanity details the author’s struggle with bipolar disorder without a sense of shame or apology. She owns her truth in a way that is incredibly empowering, even when detailing moments when she was definitely not herself.
Divided into 10 chapters, the story weighs in just a little over 50 pages. The author bares her soul as she details a mental breakdown and efforts to push her beloved husband away.
While all this was happening, Jessica retained a close relationship with God. She credits a scripture reading as the catalyst for regaining her sanity. Paired with medication, she has the needed ingredients for success. Her “accept, medicate, thrive, repeat” mantra is sensible.
Far From Crazy… Success in Sanity offers an opportunity for those struggling with mental illness to use Jessica’s story as inspiration.
