Living with Bipolar Disorder 🎭

A disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs.

“I’m not weird, just limited edition.” I told myself after being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 2016. Although I seemed confident in this moment, I wasn’t. I had mastered the art of faking it.

In reality, this was actually a plea of distress to the world: “Please be gentle with me, I’m not at my best and not fully here. I never will be.”

Fast forward to present day 2024. I am now able to live a full, stable, and rewarding life.

My treatment plan:

✨️ Medication: 100 mg of Zoloft (Sertraline) antidepressant and mood stabilizer

✨️ Medication: 50 mg of Seroquel (Quetiapine) antipsychotic and sleeping aid

✨️ bi-weekly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

✨️ bi-weekly group talk therapy

I’ve partnered with HELPGUIDE.ORG and Verywell Health to assist with recommendations on coping with Bipolar Disorder. We recommend working with your psychiatrist to find the best treatment plan to help manage your Bipolar Disorder.

I know you may be afraid or even in denial. I’m here to assure you that there is hope and that hope will indeed lead you to the light. You just have to walk towards it.

I love you and am rooting for you every step!

Christmas 2023 ♥️🎄💚

While Christmas is often celebrated as a joyous occasion filled with warmth and festivities, it’s essential to acknowledge that it isn’t the best time of year for everyone.

For some, this season can bring feelings of loneliness, grief, or financial strain.
Recognizing the diverse range of emotions associated with the holiday season allows us to cultivate empathy and support those who may find this time of year challenging.

We can change the trajectory of this world for the better, one kind act and one selfless act of service at a time.

The greatest privilege of my life is not being an “influencer.” It’s having that “influence” ignite “impact.”

Because impact saves those who need saving.

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

–Philippians‬ ‭4:12‭-‬13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I’m just a girl who grew up on the Westside of Detroit trying to serve God’s people. If you aren’t serving others, then what are you truly doing?

Oh, aight.

Meet Officer Kevin Briggs 👑

Leave a comment

In 2005, Officer Kevin Briggs prevented a 22 year old man named Kevin Berthia from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. They spent 92 minutes together talking, which ultimately saved Kevin’s life.

A decade later, they reunited under the same bridge, this time under better circumstances.

Kevin Briggs has prevented over 200 people from jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Thank you Officer Kevin Briggs for being a hero in so many ways. 👑

Bravo Kevin Berthia for turning your pain into purpose. 👑

Stay Here. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

My Momma helped me remove that chip off my shoulder and told me that nobody can save me, but me. Nobody can heal me, but me.

Thank you for holding my hand as I save and heal myself. Thank you for being my source of strength as I rebuild the essence of my very being.

I am nothing without your love, compassion, and encouragement. I love you more than anything. ♥️

You deserve all things magical.
