Countdown to the launch!

I keep being asked if I'm excited. I'm not sure that I am - more filled with an anxiety that I can't do it. Stand up in front of everyone I've asked to come along and then speak about why I wrote the book in the first place and then have to read from it. It's a daunting concept for someone totally unused to this kind of exposure. Maybe I'll take some lessons in public speaking... Maybe someone can give me some tips!

My Name is Ros Morris. This is my blog.

'Don't Wait for Me' was written in response to my own desperation for the lack of anything written in this country about the difficulties and fears living with someone with Bipolar disorder. Indeed, any mental illness.

I decided to write a blog to reflect my feelings about the mental health services, news items and current affairs. I can't say that I'm a fan of the mental health services in this country. They just don't seem to get it. Too many people slide through the bureaucracy that stymies help reaching vulnerable people. Too many people in the 'profession' do too little, constrained by their using 'human rights' as a way of keeping the desperately ill out of hospital and, effectively, on the streets.

My readers may well not agree with all that I write. You may not agree with my political views. That's fine. There's the comments section for that.
