I am a mother who has lost a young child, and a piece of her. A woman set out on a quest in this world to stop the stigma of mental illness, and to educate others. I suffer with ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, PNES and a traumatic brain injury related to a suicide attempt by gunshot in 2018. I have been molded by life, and I AM NOT ASHAMED of who I am. I believe my second chance was given so I could offer my experience, support, and continue to educate myself and others more on the topic, to spread the word to start the prevention and stop losing lives. Mental illness does not descriminate and can strike anyone at anytime in their lives, the very best prevention is education. I came here just over a year ago to connect with others for a better understanding, comfort, and support.. but on May 31st 2018 it was almost TOO late for me! I'm one of few and EXTREMELY lucky to be alive, and believe this second chance is to help others with similar struggles 💟. ALWAYS SPREAD PEACE ✌. LOVE 💑. and HAPPINESS 🙌.

Never be ashamed! I am so glad you are here today, there is absolutely a reason for that!! You matter! Always remember that. Thank you for sharing.
Your very most welcome Panicky 😊, as I said my story is not a beautiful one but if I can inspire others and share my story to spread the word than I will feel accomplished 🙌🙏!
The fact that you have shared your story with others, you’ve already accomplished a huge feat ❤️
It's very difficult to put yourself out there, but in return very healing to be surrounded by love, support, and others that can personally understand themselves from experience 💟!
I am with you all the way!
Thanks for your support kkimm! It really does mean alot 😊! ✌💑😊
Your story is very sad, but you are still here to be with us which is really great. 🙂
My gratitude, Jimmyjimmy 👏✌💟😊
I bet you will be a great help to people on here. 🙂
That's what I truly believe I've been given this second chance for. I am not supposed to be here, I beat all odds of ever coming off life support and here I am living independently out in my community!! Sometimes the only things that stop up, is ourselves!! Keep your head up, the storms don't last forever!
My storm passed a long time ago, I'm happy now but I want to try to help other people..
I agree the only thing that stops us is ourselves.
It's nice to meet you.
Glad to hear your struggles have passed, I'm not quite there. I look in the mirror each day and am reminded what I've done and the consequences that followed.. while I was hospitalized my 5yr old son drowned along side his step grandmother.. I'm still working on that guilt. Although I never made it back to my son he'd want me to continue to help others and spread love, joy and smiles just as he did his 5yrs on this Earth 💟😇.
Thats awful, I couldn't imagine what you are going through, but you are very positive in the way that you want to help others which is amazing.
Keep going with the positivity. 🙂🙂
I am so terribly sorry about your sweet little boy. And, I do believe he’d want you to continue to help others. I hope you know that he is always near. Always.
Bless you, --- unless we experience mental health or whatever illness, it is almost impossible to understand, -- so what we go through , it is to make us strong , oh I so agree with you -- lets spread always --Peace, Love and Happiness , Take care . Love and sending you Hugs

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm glad to know there is still light after all of this Peace✌Love 💑 and Happiness 😇!!
hey no worries hope your ok anytime.
thank you so much..
Glad you're still here with us! My heart goes out to you, though, on the loss of your child. I can only imagine what that would feel like. How else do you share your experiences -- are there other things you're involved with? I hadn't heard of PNES before today...I did some basic research about it, but I was wondering if you might be willing to share more about your experience with it.
Absolutely 🙌👍!! I struggled with it for 6 yrs and for those 6 yrs anything that has effected my mental health have had some effects on my physical health as well. It's something that we don't think about often, but the bodies systems and functions are all intertwined with one another. Most people see the first sign of PNES when something major has occurred in their lives that has come with crisis. I struggled to get a diagnosis as not all doctors know enough about, and ended up at a research hospital when I received the diagnosis of PNES. It's a hard diagnosis for some doctors to make because it requires the ability to take both physical state and psychiactric state into consideration. I was diagnosed by a nueropsychiatrist, some one who can better direct you with mind and body. Ive found that keeping my mind healthier has kept the effects of the PNES away! Healthy mind, healthy body 🙏💪!! I hope this helps! Please feel free to message me with any further specific questions you may have 💟. Spread Love 💑Peace ✌ and Happiness 🙌.
