Understanding Chaos

For nearly half of my life, I have been at war with mental illness and by some miracle, somehow made it out alive. As a result, my mind is made up of chaotic thoughts, dreadful memories, and traumatic experiences that haunt me each day. I spend each day attempting to further understand what it is that is occurring inside of me and make an effort to make peace with it all. Since I was a little girl, I have always known that my passion is in writing. Please join me as I chronicle my journey to further understanding mental illness, the depths of it, and ending the stigma. These writings will be a compilation of my own personal thoughts, struggles, and triumphs.

I am a proud contributing writer for The Mighty, and am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to share my story and reach others outside of my own platform. As a result of being published with The Mighty, I have been proudly featured on American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Yahoo News US & UK, MSN, Oprah News, News Break, Thought Catalog, LaptrinhX News, Flip Board, Your Tango, Unwritten, and Mental Guide.
