She was mean to her beloved grandkids, and rude to medical personnel who tried to help her. She got lost, urinating on herself, eventually hitching a ride home to a house she couldn’t recognize or point out to the driver. One day, she tried to walk home alone from a supermarket. She was angry, cranky, demanding, insistent, unreasonable, intolerant, and sometimes a danger to herself and others. But after she was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2015 and began taking medications to deal with the illness, she became someone else-and not someone she liked.
For most of her adult life, she was an energetic, determined, ambitious researcher, devoted to her work, family, and running marathons.

“But no one is guilty because they’re mentally ill,” Lipska says. Sometimes the show is no good, and it loses its director altogether. But as she explains in her book The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind: My Tale of Madness and Recovery, published in April 2018, part of the solution lies in ceasing to distinguish between mental and physical problems. Lipska believes the world can get better at treating mental illness. Because mental health services are “routinely worse than the quality of those for physical health…all countries can be thought of as developing countries” in this regard, write the global experts in The Lancet.

Sure, other people and situations may have triggered them, but close your eyes and just feel them, these burning things inside you, and everytime your mind comes up to make some commentary, just try to let the thought go. Our tendency is typically to try and avoid pain, but close your eyes and dive right in. Try being kind to yourself, to those burning, bitter pains.
