I am a new blogger but have always had a passion for writing. I am a middle aged mother of one and have had a long history of a family dealing with mental illnesses coming from many angles of alcoholism, bipolar depression and deep anxiety. Only until my generation did these illness start to get “diagnosed” within my family. A journey through life itself points out a lot of things to us but sometimes a lot of things are left unsaid that should be.
I am not a Psychiatrist or even have a college degree. However, unfortunately I have become somewhat of a novice “expert” in the areas of mental illness by default. I am using this blog as a way to voice my opinions and hopefully somehow offer some kind of support and compassion through my writings to anyone who may need it.
