PTSD and the UNDEFEATED ME: A Memoir

Sheila Kay

PTSD AND THE UNDEFEATED ME is the account of the life of SHEILA KAY, a wife and mother whose pleasant existence was completely shattered one early summer due to an unexpected tragedy. In the following months, strange and dangerous thoughts and behaviors make her question her sanity. Eventually, as a result of the devastating horror and loss, she is diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In this revealing memoir, Ms. Kay offers readers an up close look at her life voyage, up to and including her present day challenges and successes. Sheila Kay openly shares her initial denial of the condition and how, after her tragedy, unusual and frightening thoughts and behaviors lead her to accept treatment. In her book Ms. Kay includes excerpts from her therapy sessions and conversations with other medical personnel. The author candidly discloses ways in which her spiritual struggle and loss of faith, personal character flaws, and various family relationships affect the challenges she faces living with PTSD. As her tale unfolds, Ms. Kay makes it clear why she ultimately declares her life a complete triumph with the help of her team of supporters. This relatable and intriguing book is informative and captivating, especially for readers with mental illness, physical challenges, or stressful situations of any kind. It is also an insightful source for loved ones and caregivers of hurting and struggling survivors. Between its pages is an ageless and intricate narrative of love, loss, dynamic resiliency, and inspiration.
