| Introduction | My life is a story of overcoming. All ages, I was overcoming something toxic. As the years passed, chaos, instability and mental illness kept building. I was overcoming more severe experiences into my mid-twenties. During one incident I just said "no more." I cut off the source of toxicity. My last ten years have been filled with counseling - weekly, sometimes bi-weekly sessions. And yes, it does suck. At first. Then it becomes not so bad. But counseling is hands down, 100% of why I am alive and getting healthier everyday. My life is still a story of overcoming. But loving myself, having gratitude, praying, and writing are now a part of my story too. I share my life stories to inspire, to help get rid of the shame and secrecy surrounding mental illness, to bring to light the effects of emotional and mental abuse, and to just connect with our community, our human community. I believe I am alive for a reason other than to procreate and survive getting eaten by woolly mammoths. I feel led to share my story, so I share it. |
