I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

Excellent book to raise awareness and help children understand. I wish you well.

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

I'm so glad that you made this book. I am a kid myself who struggles from depression, but I had no idea that adults struggle through the same thing. your story is eye-opening, raw, true, and sweet. Keep going man!

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

This looks amazing... I've been there. I know how much depression lies. It was (and is) a genius idea to draw the physical illness/mental illness parallel for kids. I still hear some folks who deny mental illness (or just are willfully ignorant). What you have made is a powerful tool for future generations. Thank you.

Wow ok I got a few points to say so here we go One) That book is amazing just wow! Two) You go dude Well done for being sober! And Three) Nice 'stache you got! But all in all this shows that mental illness happens (that kinda makes no sense but yeah) Good Job!

Glad to see someone addressing this problem. This will be helpful to explain to my children why I am the way I am. Proud to see a strong, transparent, honest role model from my home town area.

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

This is incredible. I'll have to go out and buy it! As someone who suffers from deep depression, even with the aid of medication, this is such an important book. Thank you for writing it. Wishing you all the best.

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

I’m living that life now. Only I’m a grandma. Trying to fix bad decisions. You did very well. Your strength is commendable. I used to have that kind of strength. Lost my husband of 35 years, then daddy, can’t seem to crawl back out of the rabbit hole. Wish me luck.

The stigma affiliated with men admitting to/seeking help for mental health issues needs to end. This book is a fantastic addition to that effort!

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

Todd, I applaud your honesty and your recovery. Tragically, mental health struggles are minimized and ridiculed by many. And, thank you for writing a book AND for speaking to addicts in rehab. Congratulations on getting your book published!

What a wonderful way to work through your journey and help so many others! I love your approach to demystifying mental illness - which is much needed still today for children and adults alike. I'm glad you've had the support of your family and professionals on your journey. May you continue to have a bright and well road ahead <3

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It

I am just flabbergasted. This book is just like amazing, not the you being depressed and stuff but just the meaning and lesson to this is absolutely amazing. I am so happy you overcame that time in your life!

I Have A Family, But I Struggle With Depression And Addiction, So I Made This Children's Book To Help Explain It
