Life Unscripted has one goal - to break down stigma by sharing the inspiring stories of people living with mental illness and addiction. Shame and fear often stop people who really need help from reaching out. COVID 19 has created a mental health and addiction pandemic. For many, anxiety is now part everyday life. Alcohol and drug use has increased as people try to cope. Host Janice Arnoldi has lived with bi-polar (manic depression) disorder for more than 30 years. She has a half hour radio show and speaks regulary to groups about mental illness.

Simple Steps To Managing Wellness
Calming your brain can be as easy as taking five deep breaths when you wake up, at mid-day and before you go to sleep and anytime you're feeling frazzled. Author Darcy Patrick says falling in love with your breath will help you deal with stress and anxiety. And guess what - there's no right way to be mindful. Practicing mindfullness can simply be whatever works for you to take you away from the frenzy of life for a while. Darcy writes for people struggling with their mental health but his books are for everyone. His latest book, Managing Wellness, brings together a lot of lessons from his previous four books about his journey, the healing powers of creative writing and meditation and letting go of the bad stuff. As always, Darcy writes in bite sized lessons you can implement right away.
