'm not a therapist or a counselor. I'm someone who survived what this book is about.I've lived with mental health struggles my entire life-depression, substance abuse, and what I now know as schizoaffective-bipolar disorder. I've been homeless for four years. I've been addicted to marijuana, liquor, and sex. I've lost people I loved deeply, including my oldest brother Corey Reed, the only father figure I had growing up. I chased a dream of being a rap artist and watched it fall apart. There were moments I didn't want to keep living, and I fought through suicidal ideations more times than I can count.I'm still in recovery. I'm still learning. I'm still practicing the tools in this book.I wrote *Unstuck* because I know what it's like to lose yourself to your mental illness and wonder if you'll ever find your way back. My mission is simple: to contribute to the positive transformation of people who are struggling, and to offer them practical, shame-free ways to rebuild their lives-one small step at a time.I've volunteered at shelters and nonprofits serving the homeless because I know what it means to need help and to have nowhere to turn.If this book helped you, or if you just want to connect, you can find me on Instagram: **@kyreetaylorthesurvivor**. I'm here, and I'm still going.
