How I struggled through the year 2017

2017 was a very hard year for me, as I struggled through recovery after a psychotic episode in February. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2000 (at the age of 34) and have had to actively manage, with extra help required occasionally.

I shared my mental health story at an mental health online event, “When My Best Day Turned Into My Worst One.”

I hope my story encourages you and someone you know. Feel free to share this and please contact me if I might help someone who struggles with mental health or mental illness, or educate your community about mental illness.
