As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded of two significant milestones in my life. In January 2019, my first book, "Cerebral Palsy: A Story Finding the Calm After the Storm," was published. By 2022, I celebrated the release of my third book, "Survival: The Covid Years." These achievements hold great significance for me, as they represent important accomplishments in my life. Also, The CP Diary.

Childhood milestones

Growing up with cerebral palsy, I missed out on all my childhood milestones. Initially diagnosed at the age of two, I didn't know about my condition until much later.

My writing

On a very late diagnosis at the age of 46, my writing became a vital outlet for me. Through my website, The CP Diary, which I started in May 2010, I started to share my experiences and insights to raise awareness about disability and mental health. My writing has been a therapeutic process, allowing me to make sense of my journey.

My first book, "Cerebral Palsy: A Story Finding the Calm After the Storm," is a personal reflection on my early years and the challenges I faced. Writing about my experiences has been cathartic and has helped me to process my emotions.

My second book, "Spirituality, Healing and Me," is a testament to my healing journey, while my third book "Survival: The Covid Years" demonstrates my resilience and adaptability during a difficult time.

Final word

Always believe in yourself, never give up, because things can always get better.

If you're interested in improving your mental health or learning more about mental wellbeing, my books can be a valuable resource for you. They offer practical advice and insights into various aspects of mental health.
