Bio
First of all I like to tell people I'm a gentle soul. I'm reserved and take my time when evaluating you or things. I was in the Army/ National Guard with active duty for a total service of 8 years. I was in Nursing LPN-RN for 18 years. I worked full time putting myself through college graduating in 1985,(RN). I was becoming disabled and was unable to work by 2006. I became homeless in 2007 in Ft. Myers and got into a homeless program at the VA in Bay Pines, Florida. I had applied for Social Security in 2006, receiving it in 2010. I mostly write about my past and depression because I find in helping others I heal myself. I want to become an advocate for people with mental illness, to decrease the stigma associated with mental illness so that people will seek help. That help should be affordable for all people. Some mental illnesses are severe and would be caught by professionals if they were in treatment.
