I love life && I also suffer from a major depressive disorder and anxiety. I also have ADHD.

I spend my days working in the healthcare field as an ultrasound tech and in the emergency department as a clerk. A lot of my time is spent helping others.

The rest of my time is spent studying for board exams, trying to get fit, getting healthy and advocating for mental health awareness and eliminating the stigma associated with mental illness.

My dad died of suicide Dec 22, 2010. I was 19. I am now 23. My heart was broken into a thousand pieces that day, but I've grown and learned so much.

I now fight the same fight my dad fought for so many years. I fight depression and suicidal thoughts (at times). I fight social anxiety. I fight some chronic pain (headaches and pelvic floor dysfunction). I have seen dark times. I have been at the bottom;

I choose to get help. I have spent some time in a psychiatric hospital in order heal and find ways to fight and live with my depression.

I am infinite. I will never stop.
