Susie Bell

My name is Susie Bell, I have been writing for long time probably more than twenty years. I was educated first of all in boarding school, then moved to state school, moving on to college. Receiving a Customer Service NVQ Level III whilst I was in employment.

 

In my spare time I do a little photography with the help of my partner Roger, enjoy movies, computer games, cross stitch, making jewellery, going for walks, pottering around the garden and talking to people on twitter and facebook.

 

My major passion is trying to end stigma for Mental Health and inspiring others through Mental Health Illnesses, making my story heard and understood clearly.

 

I have also had depression which has helped me write and being creative, my imagination flows. Poetry is what has helped me most due to letting my feelings out and not being judged. This was when I thought about writing my poetry on a blog for others to see.  I have been read far and wide across the World through my blog and have been amazed at how well the response has been taken.

 

The reason I started to have the courage to step up and tell my story through this episode or depression is because not only I have been through it, so has my partner, so it has helped me to support him and use his illness to help both of us, help others to say you are not alone, please read the book and then read my blog you will find the link at the bottom of the page.

 

As well as helping those with Mental Health illnesses I wanted to help those without to understand what it is like daily to struggle through in layman's terms

please read my book again and my blog, you will come to understand we are not nutters we are normal people with an illness hidden inside not wanting to be ashamed of what we have or who we are trying to kiss the stigma goodbye.
