More Than Just A Mental Illness

So I know I have spoken a lot about mental health (that is the theme of the blog after all).
I’d like to think that there’s more to me than just a disorder. So I thought I’d dedicate this post to myself and give you all some facts about me that you never asked for. Enjoy!

Nope, but the more time I spend with my niece, the broodier I get.

I feel like I’ve channeled my 2008 Myspace self, posting on the message board.
Feel free to use this and let people know you are more than just your mental health.
