Grappling with Paralyzed Emotions - A Powerful Memoir by Rodney D. Roby Offers a Raw and Honest Look at Life with Mental Illness

Casper, Wyoming – May 19, 2025 – Author Rodney D. Roby announces the release of his deeply personal and emotionally charged memoir, Grappling with Paralyzed Emotions, now available on Amazon in both eBook and print formats. Told through a heartfelt collection of letters and reflections spanning over three decades, Grappling with Paralyzed Emotions is an intimate look into Rodney’s battle with Schizoaffective Disorder—a condition that blends symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders. Originally written in 1988 as letters to his psychiatrist, this memoir captures the unfiltered experiences of a man trying to make sense of his mind, his past, and his pain. “I didn’t write this book to become an author—I wrote it to survive,” says Roby. “I hope this book gives others going through mental illness a voice, and helps professionals better understand what we feel but often can’t say out loud.” This compelling story explores themes of childhood trauma, heartbreak, family struggles, faith, and the redemptive power of self-expression. With emotional honesty and spiritual insight, Rodney’s journey is one of perseverance, hope, and healing.
