My Story…
Let's support women's mental health! I come from a long line of powerful women who succeeded even when the cards were stacked against them. My grandmothers, aunts, sisters and mother have all faced their own battles: bipolar, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, depression and anxiety are just some of the many battles we continue to fight everyday. For many women, a mental health diagnosis is something they will carry for the rest of their lives. There's a reason they call it coping, not curing. Although mental health has its highs and lows, it's something that must be taken care of for life, like any other chronic illness. That's why I believe that supportive, healthy communities are the foundation of positive mental health outcomes. Without my support network of therapists, physicians, fellow survivors, family and friends, I would not be in such a stable condition as I am now. In that spirit, I participate to help build these spaces, to help support The Royal!
