I am getting my bariatric surgery in 17 days. I have waited my entire life for this moment, and as I am becoming closer to the actual date I have found myself to be a little more depressed than usual. Approaching a huge life changing event is scary, but it is also uplifting and exciting. I never thought I would be here in this place, right here and right now. I am thankful for my kids, my surgeon, and for all the support I have in my life. I am more than just my mental illness. I am a human, and I deserve to be happy. #depressed #thankful #mom #Surgery #BipolarDisorder #Bipolar #MentalHealth #verticalsleeve #readyforchange
