Black Pain

Terrie Williams

In Black Pain, Terrie has inspired the famous and the ordinary to speak out and mental health professionals to offer solutions. The book is a mirror turned on you. Do you see yourself and your loved ones here? Do the descriptions of how the pain looks, feels, and sounds seem far too familiar? Now you can do something about it. Stop suffering. The help the community needs is here: a clear explanation of our troubles and a guide to finding relief through faith, therapy, diet, and exercise, as well

I saw you on PBS and wanted to get information on how to help someone who suffers from bipolar disorder and delusions. My sister is very bad off and is taking Xanax for her disorder. It is very difficult to get the doctors to really do anything to help her. "She needs to take the come in before we can do anything" is the reply I get when asking for help for her. When she is lucid enough to go for help, they just give her medication and send her on her way. What else can I do to help her as we live in two different states and I am not close enough to keep an eye on her? Please help us.

The young man you featured on "Out of the Shadows" on PBS was named ?Jahwe?. I would like to learn more about him. You stated that he wrote a book. He really touched my heart. Pleas post more about him. Posted by: Guest | May 21, 2008, 8:03 pm
I am one of the lucky few who does not suffer from depression, but I hear and see it daily. Often I have suggested "maybe it's depression" (non-judgementally) to family and friends with addictions and general behavior that negatively affects themselves and others. It is a hard subject to address. From now on, I will send a copy of "Black Pain" as my calling card to folks I hold close and dear, who I know are suffering through this journey.

I saw you today on CNN speaking about "Black Pain." I am an African American Educator and was the victim of a hate crime (6/1/07), the last day of school, during the school day, on campus. The adminstration basically did not provide a sense of safety and security for me and when I asked for counseling was again not taken seriously. At first I had anxiety, post traumatic stress then months later slipped into a state of depression, I am still going through therapy. (Since I am a retired military veteran, the VA is providing medical care for me and the school still has not taken responsibility.) I did not return to teaching. My point is, I am so happy that you spoke out concerning the fact that people should not remain silent and seek help. Pat McCollough Florida Posted by: | February 23, 2008, 10:14 am

Dear Terri Thanks for speaking out , Clearly & Loudly. You're right we have numbed ourselves sometimes to the point of unconciousness. I am thankful you are speaking at churches. I am an ordained minister who is also committed to our healing and to creating conversations that will open these old covered over wounds to the air. God Bless you and forward your mission.
