    • About Me

      I'm 25, I'm married and I have 2 beautiful girls, one is 9 and the other will be a year in april, they dont live with me but i see them when i am able to since we dont have a car and other issues. I also have a third kid: my bipolar aside from that I have terrible anxiety/OCD/PPD and most likely PTSD from past trauma. I got diagnosed with bipolar 2 with rapid cycling when I was 18 but I am only just coming to terms with it now, kind of late but hey you know how it is. My hubby is incredibly supportive and is my best friend, we make a great team. My hubs is a recovering addict and suffers from depression.
