Hello!

It has been a while since I have posted. There is an odd feeling to surviving. Almost a guilt, because I said my goodbyes, and was at peace with going, but my body was not ready to let go. My best friend ended up calling an ambulance, I was hospitalized for more than two weeks and released. I have been doing a ton of testing since. I have found an amazing pain specialist. Working with a great physiotherapist I got walking again. I am trying to spend as much time as I can with my family, friends, puppies. I am eating good food and playing outside. Pain levels are really high, but I am coping and finding all the joy I can. I am very happy that I get a second chance to find as many silver linings as I can. Life is as always, more good than bad.

😬Our ‘Public Persona’😬

This is exactly what I, and countless others, do everyday - we put up a ‘public persona’ to hide what we’re truly going through. We pretend that we aren’t: in #AGONY or #depressed or #exhausted or #anxious . We pretend because we are #scared of how others would treat us if they really know what we were going through. The thing is though, by pretending we are something we’re not, we are giving ourselves more #Stress but also denying someone the opportunity to help us deal with the things that are really going on in our lives.

My video is now available. I talk about children with a disability should live their lives. Why should you say what the child can and can't do? There not Born yet. It's not fair to assume.

We’re all capable of greatness! #Autism #Depression

It doesn’t matter what we deal with, each of us is capable of greatness and don’t let others tell you that you can’t do something because you’re autistic, have a developmental or physical disability, suffer from depression, anxiety or PTSD! #MentalHealth #MentalIllness #PTSD #Anxiety #Disability #DevelopmentalDisability
