my.story.

Hi, I have a mental illness and I’m ok with sharing that. For many years I have suffered in shame of my diagnoses. Embarrassed to share my roller coaster of experiences battling with performance anxiety, major depression and psychosis. Not wanting anyone to know and playing the role of just a normal girl. But that role no longer suits me and I decided to let go.

I have learned mental illness is a sickness. No one willingly wants to be sick in any form. But when we are we look to those around us. It should be no different for our mental health. Physical and mental illnesses alike can be extremely challenging. Having a mental illness can cause you to live a life of uncomfortable awkwardness . I’m here to share my experiences in those moments and how I handle or struggle with the situations. I am at a point in my journey where sharing my challenges have become healing for myself and those around me.

My social media platform has been known to educate, inspire and to raise the frequency to those who visit. I plan to continue this work along with being more out spoken about my story with mental health through poetry, art and writings. A more honest and continual expression of myself.

It took me a long time to get to this point of honesty with myself and to be able to share this with others. And to be honest I’m still vainly uncomfortable with sharing this but I know someone needs to hear this and is depending on me like I depended on others to share the stories of pain, struggle and breakthrough to pull through battling times. My goal is, as I share, others will hear and be encouraged to share too. As we walk through the barriers of judgements and and overcome the stigma of mental illness together...
