I'm Not OK, You're Not OK, But That's OK With God Nov 25, 2008
By Jane E. Owen
Anyone who struggles to maintain a sense of "OKness," or whose steep climb out of the Valley Low seems hopeless, will want to read Shelley Hussey's book, I'm Not OK, You're Not OK, But That's OK With God. It's an especially great read for those of us who may indeed think we understand the mental traumas others suffer.
In this page turner, the author has bound together a wealth of information with threads of hope, compassion, encouragement, and humor that offers healthy doses of belly-laugh healing. I certainly recommend Ms. Hussey's book and applaud her courage for writing it!

 Written with "grit"... Nov 07, 2008
By James
The author has a funny, manic style and writes in "grit." I found myself laughing or crying along with her. She reminds us of the truth demonstrated by every crying baby or scared alcoholic or teenager who won't look under his bed after dark. There is little more powerful than a hug, a calm voice at 3 a.m., the strong hand of a loved one, or a conviction that someone or something watches over you and counts the feathers on your wings.

Give the mental cooties the boot Feb 08, 2009
By J. Bailey
Shelley Hussey's "I'm Not OK, You're Not OK, But That's OK With God" is unlike any other self-help tool or book. While some make you feel guilty and lack encouragement, Shelley lets her readers know that they aren't the only ones suffering from mental illnesses, and that there are many possibilities in overcoming their problems. Through her witty use of humor and devotion to God, she restores a little faith in her readers. Shelley puts her personal life on the line in hopes of using it as a coping mechanism to help others manage their own circumstances. The book is especially appealing to a general audience as well as her intended audience because it has universality: many people are going through, have gone through, or will go through difficult times because of stress-related illnesses. With Shelley's little push of faith and encouragement, the readers gain ground against their mental foes to begin a successful road to healing and to begin rebuilding a better foundation to a happier well-being.
It was incredibly touching to my own personal life and even gave me quite a boost of self-confidence and encouragement!

It's Ok to Not Be Ok Jan 23, 2009
By T. Cheatham
This book was written for people who have ever had a bad day, a tough time in their life, and enjoy a good laugh. Shelley Hussey demonstrates how laughter can take us through the most difficult times of our lives and can be the best medicine. Even if you have never experienced mental illness, it is encouraging to know that the stress in life is real and affects everyone differently. This uplifting story took great courage to write and admits some of the most difficult hidden secrets of the author's heart; but as she stayed at the end, she and her husband are happy and laughing their way through life. Hussey passes on humor and healing to all of her readers.

Attention One and All Feb 19, 2009
By Mel in Mo
This is an amazing book that reaches out and gives hope to all walks of life - connected by this one thread, mental illness. More importantly, Shelley is a voice for anyone and everyone who has ever suffered from mental illness, shining the light on society's view while providing laughter and hope in a way that I've never seen previously. Shelley is to be commended for her endeavor in changing the way the public views mental conditions and those that endure them.
