Welcome to My Blog, Who I Am and Why I’m Here
Travel Blog for Mental Illness
Thank you so much for visiting my site. Throughout this site, I will cover all sorts of different content and subjects on living your life while suffering from a mental illness. We are in this together!
I have spent my entire life trying to figure out what was wrong with me. The feeling that I just didn’t quite belong was always clear in my day-to-day life. From an early age being “different” was ingrained into me. I remember going to school and never quite fitting into any group of kids. Early on I was always the kid who sat on the swing quietly, yearning to belong. To find some commonality with another human being.
I don’t think I really found myself and understood who I was until I reached my mid 30’s. Early on I spent my life trying to find myself; sometimes not in a healthy way. I made unhealthy choices with friendships, my body, and my mind. I just wanted to feel something, somehow, someway and I continued to do that for many years. I’m sure this rings true to many people out there. The need to belong or to find one’s self drives us to act before we think.
This struggle was constant and still is. But you should never lose hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, that tunnel is long, dark and painful, but you will get to the end and find a door. Once you arrive at that door you will open it and the most amazing, life-changing experience will be right there waiting for you. What is that life-changing experience you might ask? Well, that is for you to find out, keep walking, hold your head up, and keep your eyes open. Your heart and soul will be free and ready to absorb this crazy thing we call life.
Please share your life experiences and if you have opened that door where did you walk into? Did you find help to get you there and any advice you would give other people who are trying to get there?
