My life has not been easy. I grew up in a very dysfunctional family where I’m sure there were mental illness in that family that was undiagnosed and untreated. I began seeing a psychiatrist while in high school. I developed anxiety and depression real bad and was diagnosed with bipolar in 1995. It took me a while to learn that medication was not the complete answer. Yes the medication helped but I need to develop other coping skills which overtime I did. I can help you develop coping skills and become resilient and find the hope to get you through each day.
