Although I was not diagnosed with depression and anxiety until later, I know I have struggled with my illness all of my life. I have been blessed to have a loving supportive family and wonderful friends who have guided me on my journey. I have faith in God and I trust in His plan for me. It is my hope that people who read my book will share my story and remember to just hold on. I was born and raised and continue to live in Maine. I have an amazing job, working with very special people. I have a son who because of him, i will always fight through my illness. Blessings and strength to all. Thank you for sharing my story.
