I Step out from behind the shadows. Giving My
Story a voice to be heard, though it not always the easiest thing to do. I know
so many people who have been dealt this hand, some very close to me, others I met
through someone else. It’s like a old photograph, that’s faded, but still part
of who I’ am .For Many years this Disease defined me, no longer does it confine
me. No longer do the chains bind me. Though I must say, it’s been a very long
painful journey to get from there to here.
From one who has
struggled with Bipolar for years, to now living a life the best I can, stable and
full of hope. I write this blog for YOU ALL. Writing has always had a place in
my life, from keeping a journal from the young age of 10 to writing letters of encouragement
to those who needed a lift in their spirits to sharing my pain and struggle,
and how I was able to do that. I know that doing this will bring memories of
those tough days, those long tearful nights.
I’m not so far
removed from that pain that I can’t empathize with you. I couldn’t see it then,
but God brought something beautiful from those ashes, He is giving me the words
of HOPE, and strength to pass on to you, my readers, to let you know this
journey you do not walk alone. This is my STORY… its how God took my test and
turned it into my testimony from being on 24 pills a day to now down to 2. So
please walk hand in hand with me and let me share with you what has helped me.
I know this isn’t just my journey, but it’s all who suffer with mental illness. I won’t
go into detail, but I will tell you, I’m planning on writing some great
insightful entries about all kinds of issues that I know a lot of you out there
are dealing with.
