Hello!!
If you found me from the article I had on Scary Mommy, I'm so glad you're here.
I have been writing a lot- just hadn't been keeping up with my blog. I think I got a bit jaded and wondered if anyone even read blogs anymore.
But- there is so much I want to share with you and offer the support and encouragement I was desperate for when my son was young and I was dying under the weight of raising a child with undiagnosed and then misdiagnosed mental illness.
There is hope, and help, and love and support; and I want you to know that whatever mental health issue your child or teen (or adult child!) is dealing with, that I see you, and I'm proud of you, and if you will allow me to, I can offer you some hope and love to help you avoid some of the pain our family went through just because I didn't know what I didn't know.
Please feel free to leave a comment, or to send me a private message- I will get back with you as soon as I can!
You can also follow me on Instagram, on TikTok (I just started fairly recently and it's mental health content) and Twitter.
I've been writing a long time about this journey, with articles published in many places, but I stayed hidden until now. Now I'm ready to share more than just empathy, I'm a strong resource for caretakers and families who are desperate for someone to hear them and help them.
Check out some of my older posts- there are some resources already there waiting for you. I can't wait to share lots more!
Welcome to my social media platforms. I hope you'll stick around, and mostly, I hope you will feel encouraged, empowered, and better educated about mental illness and mental health.
