I'm new here!

Hi, I’m Chris.
For a very long time, I couldn’t picture a future I wanted to be part of. I struggled from childhood well into adulthood, and I began to believe that was simply how my life would always feel.
Then, one ordinary Thursday, sitting in a rather undignified place, I realised something that caught me completely off guard.
I was happy.
There’s a much longer story behind those three words. It involves bipolar disorder, a man called Braam, finding treatment with my psychiatrist, my faith, and a little dog called Hobbits who always seems to know when I need her.
I’m also autistic and have ADHD, and there are things I’m still learning how to navigate. Happiness hasn’t made every difficulty pack a suitcase and leave. But I have a future I look forward to now, and that once felt impossible.
I joined because I want to share that hope—and get to know people whose experiences might help me understand my own a little better.
If you’ve been struggling for a long time, I won’t pretend to know what your path will look like. I just want you to know that mine changed long after I had stopped believing it could.
I’m glad to be here.

Hi, my name is Nat85. I'm here because I am a clinician working with mothers pregnant and postpartum. I'm looking for helpful information on behalf of my clients and to see if this would be a beneficial space for them as well. Many of them have minimal emotional support and concrete help. They need community and to know they're not alone. Thank you!

Filmmaker Seeking to Share Story about IC, Depression and Addiction Through Horror Comedy

Hi, my name is Christina Marie Leonard! I'm here because I have been living with interstitial cystitis, depression and anxiety since I was twelve years old, which led to battling with addiction in my teens and twenties. As I've gotten older, I have found solutions through support groups, outside help and medication that works for me, and I especially have found that connecting with others in these communities through art, humor and storytelling is so important to me. I am an actress, comedian and filmmaker and I am currently in pre-production for a film about the connection between addiction, depression and chronic illness that I'm telling through a horror-comedy lens. We are currently fundraising on Seed&Spark and I'm looking to connect with other individuals that will be able to relate to this story. I initially had trouble talking about these subjects and my personal experiences with them, especially with IC, but over the past two years I finally started to open up about the condition through a one-person show I wrote called "Bathroom Diaries" about my personal story with IC, addiction and mental health. My mission for the short film as well as the one person show, is to decrease the stigma for addiction, chronic illnesses and mental health conditions and to bring people together to hopefully feel less alone. I have attached the project page if you'd like to check it out and possibly connect! seedandspark.com/fund/sick-and-tired
