I do outreach, grant writing, website administration and I also work for NAMIWalks as a the 2019 Sponsorship Chairman. Now, I work for the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Sacramento and I am the program coordinator for our Connection Recovery Support Groups. I knew I had caused pain in my past, and I did not want to be remembered as just that person who had lived that regrettable life. I wanted to reach out a friendly hand, much the way a hand had been offered to me when I needed it most. I had a fundamental desire to live with pride, and help those who could not help themselves.
I acquired skills, pursued introspection and began to take my illness very seriously. In 2013 I started investing in my recovery on a personal basis. I have absorbed the weight of my transgressions and decided to move forward towards meaning. As a result of never properly caring for my mental health, I was divorced twice, attempted suicide twice and have been hospitalized in three different California counties. I looked for meaning outside my self, and sought partnership, love and the comfort provided. I was diagnosed with Bipolar I in 2003 and have largely fallen flat on my face in my attempts to live successfully with this illness.
