I am a licensed educator with lived experience of Anxiety, CPTSD, and Fibromyalgia. I am learning to overcome circumstances and situations that have impacted my well being. I have a Service dog that provides me with unconditional love and supports me to be able to overcome many challenges and barriers. Living with CPTSD, anxiety and learning to manage these challenges caused by trauma is not what defines me. My Well-being is gained and achieved by understanding what my autonomy needs. Achieving recovery success requires this personal journey to no longer allow others to label, rationalize, limit or restrict me of my humanity or its lived experiences of these impacts. My recovery journey is to be visible as my authentic self, as I am designed and created to be, with the wholeness required for all living, breathing individuals.
What I Hope to Share
I hope to be an example to others how weaknesses can be our greatest achievement in life. How these are hidden jems just waiting to be discovered and realized by us. This allows the world to be educatated and to gain compassionate understanding. I have not accomplished learning how all of my weaknesses are just gems waiting for me to discover. Through others here I hope to be able to find the value of more hidden gems waiting to be discovered by me.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
The journey of mental health recovery is something I am learning to acknowledge and be open about without feeling stigmatized or ashamed. It is my personal individualized work in progess. Like education, this is a life long learning journey. I believe living with mental health struggles is a learning process of self discovery. This life long process is not to be forced, pushed or for criteria and assessment to determine how and when support is necessary for an individual. The primary reasons recovery is often delayed or prevented is because the individual who has the context for the understanding required for support is not consulted with full transparency and informed consent when these decisions or assessments are discussed. This disempowers individuals and is the greatest injustice that exists for anyone living with a mental health history.
