When Cierra Lyn Fortner was shopping at Walmart with her young son, a cashier commented on how well behaved he always was and how well put together Cierra always seemed to be.

She thought about this compliment on the drive home, and realized that the truth needed to be told. There was no time to turn around and have the conversation again, but she still felt like something needed to be said.

Cierra wrote about the experience of being a mother with a mental illness, and it touched thousands of men and women around the globe. Many people credited he for telling the honest truth about what really goes on behind the "perfect" exterior.

No matter who you are, there's going to be someone out there who understands what you're going through.
