(He/him)
Hi there, I’m Mike! I am a passionate Certified Peer Specialist, and I consider myself to be one of God’s “walking miracles of redemption”. 💙⭐️ Diagnosed bipolar-affective disorder (type 1) with psychosis, with textbook symptoms going back to 1998. I've racked up lived experience overcoming serious mental illness along with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, CPTSD, alcohol dependency, p*rn addiction, toxic shame, disorganized attachment, spiritual/religious guilt and church hurt.

What I Hope to Share
I have humbly endured the lowest of lows and crushed death under my toes for decades. And I am still being put to the test and learning so much! It is my hope to contribute authentic stories of what this is like in real life—both the challenges and the rewards. I am so grateful for the connections and joy in overcoming that flourishes here at ShareWell.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
I found ShareWell in the near-lethal aftermath of my thyroid gland going “crazy” (doctor’s own words). Like previous severe health episodes, it left me isolated, confused and truly devastated. I’m in this community because I know the power of access to real peer connection, education and learning how to fight for and support my most desired overall health and recovery goals.
