More About Me

​

Since early childhood, I struggled with emotional control, and anxiety. Through my teenage years, I had breakthroughs, like epiphanies, helping me understand my emotions, and for the first time, I had really felt in control of my feelings. I remember letting go of a grudge I held for years. I took a deep breath and when I exhaled I let those feelings go, and I really did let them I go. I remember how freeing that felt and how exhilarating it was to be in control.

 

Life can sweep us off our feet. I was 18 when I lost my childhood best friend to suicide. At the time, I was struggling, adjusting from a life of high school to a life of working.  I didn't want to be starting my adult life grieving my best friend. It hurt immensely to lose him.

​

When I was 21 years old, I lost my daughter to a rare disease. She was 8 months old when she died. She was everything to me. There are no words to express the depth of grief I've undertook in this life. After her passing, my mental health began a series of down turns. My entire world was turned on its head. 

​

I am here now with this blog because I want to spread hope by sharing my experiences as I continue on my journey to create a healthy mind and positive well-being as I heal from mental trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. I hope that people who feel the same way know that they're not alone.
