I'm a Christian wife & mother with mental illnesses. I am a borderline with anxiety, depression, and a binge eating disorder. In my journey to improve my quality of life for myself and those I love most, I decided to blog and share what I can, when I can. I've been a Certified Mental Health Peer Specialist since 2021 and I chose that path so that I can do what I love to do; help others. I hope that somewhere, someone reads something I write & feels that for once, they're not alone. Thank you for checking out my blog. God Bless. <3

When my gallbladder had to be taken out a few … Continue reading Control
