About the host
Thank you so much for stopping by! I have dealt with bipolar disorder since 1995 when I was a sophomore at a large state college. I faced many issues everyone in college faces like what do I do with my life, why am I even majoring in this, who should I date, and the list goes on. Those questions get more complex when you factor in mental health concerns. I am happy to share that I’ve been through everything from regular weekly therapy to inpatient treatment, and despite all of that, I graduated with a professional degree. I want to know more about you and see what experiences we have in common.
Motivation for help
I’ve made many concessions to my quality of life because of bipolar disorder. Over time, I wanted to find a way to give back because of how much I went through, especially in college. I received inpatient care five times, did weekly therapy, sometimes multiple sessions in one week, and managed medications. Despite all of this, I successfully completed my undergraduate studies for a professional degree. I also earned four professional internships, was a part of the Honors Department, won two travel grants, and was active in several extracurricular activities and professional groups. I know my story and experiences will be very helpful for those coming to grips with mental health and life in college.
