    • About Me

      My name is Ivonne. I have been diagnosed as Bipolar. I love to sing and dance. I'm also a Christian, and I love the Lord. I was depressed for a while and I was also very anxious. I am feeling much better now, thanks to my doctor and God. I hope I can stay stable and never have a crisis again. I'm planning to go through Rehab, because right now I'm disabled.
