My name is Emily and this is my blog. I write about my journey through multiple difficult mental health diagnoses, as well as the things that give me reasons to fight another day. I have been on this path since I was young, so I don't remember much about life without some sort of mental health diagnosis. My journey has been hard, traumatic, and definitely lonely. It has also been one where I learned to find joy in the little things and the power of my physical body. I admit that not all of my choices have been healthy, but nonetheless I have learned from them. I am not a doctor or any other licensed professional, so please do not take anything here as fact. It is my story of survival, and an attempt to thrive with serious, chronic health conditions. Learning to live with any chronic health condition, especially a mental illness, is something that requires ongoing, professional support. Sadly, that is not something I can offer you. Please navigate to my RESOURCES tab for more information if that is what you are seeking.

 

​Also, please respect my privacy as I might not have a way to actually contact me. I am a human being, not an AI bot, with a life that I prefer to live fairly quietly. All content is original and my own, at the limit of what I am willing to share with the world. Thank you for respecting my boundaries.
