My Life With Chronic Illness

Its my 22 birthday❤️💜💖💞

I am officially 22❤️💜💖💞

When I turned 13 I went into a mental hospital for the first time. For the ages of 13-16: I ran away from God, went into a mental hospital 4 times, tried to kill myself twice, and got diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Then from the age of 16-19: I got diagnosed with bipolar type one, began close to God, had ECT treatments, started college, became sick, and got diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Then from 19-21: I have been depressed, in unbearable pain from fibromyalgia, published my book, went to ten different doctors, and tried everything to feel better.

Why I share all this because this is my story. When I was 13 I never thought I would live to see my 16th birthday. Even thought it's been hell, I am here today turning 22. Life has been tough and it's still tough. I have come a long way but I still have a long way to go. But I am proud of how far I have come. I am excited to see what this year begins❤️💜💖💞

I am sorry I haven't updated in a while. I will do an update on me on Sunday❤️

Thank you for reading this! I love you all❤️
