Bell Jar Butterfly by Lauren Green Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Her mind began to twist, plaguing her with dejection and self-doubt. As she plummeted into despondence, she noticed her wings beating gently into glass. Nudging her back. Keeping her in place. She became claustrophobic and flew around frantically, desperate to escape, but the glass was a seamless cage. She was hopelessly confined, stuck in her own head, fixated on her ubiquitous thoughts of anxiety and despair. What butterfly could survive in a bell jar?Bipolar. Mood disorder. OCD. These aren't words one usually associates with a child. Yet Katie found herself clenched in the unforgiving grip of mental illness at the tender age of eight. After receiving her initial diagnosis, she felt lost. Helpless. Scared. But she wasn't alone in her fear. Her family was experiencing it right alongside her albeit in different ways. This set them all on a path that they never wanted to take-but one that taught them boundless love and compassion for each other and the rest of the journey-characterized by equal parts brokenness and healing-is described in full technicolor in Bell Jar Butterfly. Raw, real, and resonant, this inspiring memoir, capturing vivid snapshots of Katie's life over the course of twenty years, seeks to validate the experiences of those living with mental illness while shining a light on the ripple effect on their loved ones. Comprising the unique perspectives of mother, father, older sibling, and younger sibling, this poignant narrative is intended to help any reader feel understood and recognize they're not alone on their vignettes describing each family member's experience, Bell Jar Butterfly offers guidance on things like how to maintain a strong marriage, hold on to faith, and use positive coping strategies when a loved one is battling mental illness. Ultimately, readers should turn the last page feeling equipped to effectively support those in their life with mental health challenges while still caring for themselves. Just as it's a resource for other families navigating the confusing world of raising a child with mental illness, Bell Jar Butterfly is also a beautiful reminder that mental illness is only a part of a whole person who is important, worthy, and capable of great things.
