This is more of an update, I didn’t want readers to think I fell off the map. Although I have been a slightly off the grid. I just started seeing my therapist, we’ve had 4 sessions now. I really have to say it’s already helping. I am able to live in the present, ways to diffuse toxic situations, stopping intrusive thoughts, and most importantly helping me see that I come first.
I’ve never learned how to love myself and it’s starting to manifest right in front of me. My eyes are opening and I can see self growth and self awareness, and I have what it takes to conquer my self doubt.I know where all this empty void filling stems from, I always have. I just needed someone to help me put the pieces of the puzzle together. I urge any of my readers to seek therapy or counseling if they are able to. Just having someone to talk to helps and every session is worth it.

I am diagnosed as Bipolar 1. I am an advocate for mental health awareness and have helped fundraise towards nonprofit organizations like NAMI. I write about my own personal struggles and success stories to help end a national stigma that hurts and alienates those who battle mental illness. Beyond fighting for mental health awareness, I am tech nerd, hair enthusiast, film buff and music lover. I love my family and support system with all my heart. I have green hair and tattoos because I want to. I’ve always stood out in one way or another. I studied photography and received an associates degree. I have my high school AP literature teacher to thank for inspiring me to pursue journalism, and for writing me a heartfelt letter of recommendation that I still have as a reminder. High school was a decade ago, but in times like these, Publishing an opinionated, personal and maybe controversial blog about living with a mood disorder seemed like a good enough start.
