Hi, I’m Brooklyn and you are currently reading my first post of my blog. I started this blog because I want people who are struggling with anything in their life, to know they have a voice, and they don’t need to be scared. Hopefully with the experiences and difficulties I have endured in my life this may also be a lending hand for those who are going through something similar. Even if no one reads this, I know this will help me look back and see how far I have come while dealing with trails and struggles.
I was diagnosed with severe depression 12 years ago. I’ve also been diagnosed with anxiety, bipolar, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), pseudo seizures ( PNES), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , & anorexia/bulimia. It’s a constant battle,. Every day is challenging in one way or another. I had a lot of traumatic events happen to me in my past, such as mental and physical abuse, rape, death of loved ones, betrayal, & a lot of negative people and influences in my life. I was in a very dark place, and resorted to self harm, multiple suicide attempts, and alcohol; all trying to escape the pain.
overall this is not about feeling bad for myself, or having others feel bad for me. I want to use my experiences to help better the lives who are struggling that happen to come across my blog. i am always a listening ear, i will not judge you, i will always help no matter what; that being said, I created an email that is dedicated just to your responses/reach out (it is linked on the main page). I hope you can use this as a tool in your successful recovery!
xoxo – Brooklyn
