So last Thursday was my first appointment with a new doctor who I see again this Thursday, and the appointment was really emotional.
With almost perfect timing, my college planning counselor calls to let me know I’m graduating as salutatorian of my high school class! It came as a complete shock to me, because I just considered myself lucky that they were letting me graduate at all, due to me missing the majority of the fourth quarter of my senior year.
I feel really proud of myself and the hard work that I did put in, and to top it all off, my best friend is valedictorian! 👩‍🎓

Good morning 🌄
I was able to pass a fresh mop and etc...in my apartment before inspection. I feel awesome 👌

Sometimes I wish more people knew my whole history because I’m sometimes in awe of how far I’ve come. I’ve battled with depression since I was 13 and I’m 26 now. I have overdosed 3 times. The most recent overdose which was almost 3 years ago should’ve killed me. I had a son with a mentally and emotionally abusive man who just about broke everything inside me as someone that suffers from bipolar 2, borderline personality disorder, and pretty bad anxiety. It took all of me to kick him out when my son was 8 months old. Of course he still tormented me. To a point where he had me believing my son was better off without me. It took me a long time to find myself after that. I am so proud to say that I’ve had a steady job for almost 2 years now. I am in an amazing job that treats me so well! I’ve gotten 4 raises in the year that I’ve been there. I am doing my absolute best with my son. I think maybe karma is coming back to me and it’s been so good :) I just wanted to share because it’s so hard to share my story with friends for some reason.
