I am forever 38 years old, a few years back I received a brain injury that resulted in not remembering my 38th birthday, so I say I am forever 38 because the birthday never happened in my memory. I am a mom of two beautiful girls and am raising my nephew as well. To fill voids along the way in life I have acquired way too many animals for my own good and sanity if I am being honest.
There is often a saying the bests therapists are those who are also clients. I was a mental health therapist for 18 years before giving it up as a profession. This blog is not intended to come from a therapist perspective but my own personal battles with Schizophrenia and Depression. I have had 3 psychiatric hospitalizations along the way and one thing that always was a recurring theme was feeling as though no one really understood me. I want this blog to connect to others with similar battles or even as motivation for those just looking for something to connect with.
Today, I am still fighting the battle of mental illness. People will say to just get better, but fail to understand it does not ever go away. So I am here fighting the fight each day along with everyone who suffers. I have good days and bad days and days that I am not sure if they were a delusion or reality. I am raising my kids and always looking to better myself and find peace in the chaos of life and inside my mind.
