All About Me

Welcome to the Blog, where you will learn all about your health, mental wellbeing, my story of mental health symptoms.

I’m a family doctor, mother of two, terrible baker, and environmentally conscious wife to an amazing emergency doctor husband. I started blogging publicly as a way to work through my own symptoms of mental health, mainly a diagnosis of bipolar 2 disorder back in 2020. I realized that I was functioning silently with my own symptoms, and that so many of my patients, friends and family also had their own struggles with mental health symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD etc, and it seemed ridiculous to me that we were all feeling so alone in our journey.

I believe we should all be empowered to accept our diagnoses, as badges of honour which make us stronger. I want to empower my readers to learn more about their overall health, not just their mental health, but to be an engager in health care, not just a consumer. I hope you will gain knowledge, comfort and begin to challenge yourself to lead a better, healthier life.
