    • About Me

      So, I live in upstate NY. I have a four year old daughter. I've probably been somewhat depressed since high school, but the last 18 months of my life have been pretty awful. I have been hospitalized 3 times in less than a year, and have two partial hospitalizations to boot. I don't know who I am or where I am going anymore.
