     Anika begins to lose her mind. While continuing to stare at the television   set, Anika sees a vision of Jesus. He appears to her in just as perfect form and image as the paintings on Mary’s wall. She then hears Jesus speak, “I am the son of God.” Then just as fast as he appears, he leaves her vision.


     “Did you see him? Did you see Jesus?” Anika turns and looks at her friends. Words are stuck within their throats.


     “Did you see him? Did you see Jesus?” Anika repeats once more.


     “Anika, you’re really scaring us. I thought  you were Muslim?” Mary says.


Anika then feels as if someone was controlling her thoughts. “Forgive yourself.”  She then begins to ramble, “Atoms are neither created nor destroyed. There was always an existence. You have to take baby steps to understand how this existence works, where we came from, how it started.

Don’t jump from A to Z. No, you must go from A to C. Take a break. It has been painted. First there was nothing; it was blackness, pitch blackness. There was  first the black hole. A plumber can understand the black hole. There was a  white light. The creator is positive energy. We all have a little bit of  positive energy. A person of positivity can change your life without saying a word. We try to increase positive energy which is the same as increasing spiritually. Once we are of that same positivity as the creator, we become one with him. Only a few souls have reached this level of existence. The rest of us are growing spiritually so we can reach that level.“

It appears to Anika that she is making sense as she began to explain herself, justifying her words.

“Positive times positive equals positive. Negative times positive equals  negative. Therefore, if you have any negativity in you, you cannot become one  with positivity.”

“The creator is all positive energy. Negative times negative equals positive. If you learn from loads of negativity you will learn from your mistakes and become all positive. It’s mathematics. Everything stems from
mathematics. Less than a cup of wine is what I need to rest. Don’t want to scare away this beautiful spirit controlling my thoughts.” While holding the sides of her head trying to rid her racing thoughts, she runs into the kitchen and pours herself a cup of wine. She then thinks, “no one will ever have to go through what I went through again!”

Anika takes a look at her past to see how in the world she got to this point in her life.







Swiyyah Nadirah Woodard was selected as  a Bay News 9 Everyday Hero, which was seen by two million viewers, for  publishing a book and teaching the community about her own battle with mental illness. She was hospitalized six times and misdiagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

Her first book, Don't Call Me Crazy! I'm Just in Love, became required and suggested reading in Reading, Writing, Abnormal Psychology, and General Psychology classes at a four year Institution. 

She was born in the housing projects of
Saint Petersburg, FL. Her father left when she was three so  she was raised in a single parent home. At the age of five she was  molested by her eight year old brother. She  later started school, she had slurred speech and didn't care to make friends so  she was bullied by her peers. At the age of eight, she wanted to kill herself  because a girl wanted to fight her. She looked into the medicine cabinet for  medication. Thank God, she couldn't find any.

As a teenager she was physically abused by her  step dad. The abuse was so severe, God blocked it from her memory. At the age  of 20 the brother that molested her committed suicide, which was devastating to  her and the entire family. Swiyyah has always viewed herself as normal. She  never received any disciplinary problems in school, made good grades, and  received her BA degree in Psychology from the
University of South Florida.

When the doctors misdiagnosed her with the most  debilitating mental disorder known in mental health, paranoid schizophrenia,  she denied it. She questioned their expertise. She refused to take medication.  She was then hospitalized six times. Her family took a picture of her at her worst and that's when she knew she needed help. She has been taking medication  now for ten years without a relapse.  She is now a published author and a National Inspirational Speaker. Her first book is entitled, “Don't Call Me Crazy! I'm just in Love,” and is inspired by her true story. 

She was raised Muslim and the revelations she  received from God and placed in her books, didn't make any since until she meet  her Christian husband 14 years after her first relapse.
