I have lived the life of a seafarer’s wife for just over 12 years now and have learnt many lessons along the way. I married the boy I first fell in love with at the age of 5 and now many years later and we have two beautiful girls together aged 12 and 10 years. I am currently studying to become a naturopath as I have always been interested in how best to live a natural life. Don’t get me wrong I am no hippie mother earth person but if I can treat my family with as little chemical medication as I can then I will.
My family is my heart and soul. I know everyone says that but if it wasn’t for my hubby and kids I wouldn’t have had the strength to just keep living in this world. You see a few years ago now my life went haywire and I was diagnosed as being bipolar with anxiety issues. Since then the doctors have added PTSD and ocd to the list. My illness is a constant battle and I am now taking medication daily to help me control myself and my moods. One of my hopes in doing this is that if I can normalize even talking honestly about how you are doing it might just help someone to reach out when they truly need it. I now know that there is no shame in asking for help but it has taken me awhile to get to this point.
That is me basically. If there is ever anything you want to ask me about go for it. I will be talking honestly about my life be it be my illness, dealing with hubby being away every 2nd month or anything else that comes up. Mental illness is different for everyone so anything I say in regards to that is based on my own experience but I am very open about it.
