Mental Health

One of the most important things to me is my mental health and being a mental health advocate. I have been through a whole lot of stuff in my life... I have been abused, raped, sexually assaulted, lost babies, been broken hearted and hungry... all the things. As a result of my upbringing and struggles, I have developed borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive compulsive personality disorder. Every day it takes work to not let symptoms encroach and ruin my life. I have to actively work to not want to end everything. It's exhausting, but I do it. I have little people and family and friends who would be so hurt without me. 

Though I struggle a lot, this also gives me a unique advantage in terms of empathy. I can relate and listen to everyone. (Part of BPD is mirroring, so this is not to be confused with that.) People love to come up to me and tell me their stories. I listen. I help. I care. 

Physical Health

I have also been on a weight loss journey that has kind of stalled out at this point. In 2020, I was tipping the scale at almost 380lbs. By 2023, I was down to 280lbs. It was beautiful. I am not sitting at around 300lbs. I am an emotional eater. I am my weight because I have used food to cope for years and years. As a result of that, I have some health issues, chief among them is my polycystic ovary syndrome. The PCOS has contributed mostly to my miscarriages (three) that I had before I was able to have my babies🌈🌈
