I am a 38 year old female who lives in Salt Lake City Utah. I am a wife and a mother of three and a MewMaw of two beautiful granddaughters. I am currently in recovery I have been clean for 11 months. I am recently separated from my husband caused by my addiction and when I started recovery I found out I have a mental illness including bipolar, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. I was self-medicating since I was a teen so I was unaware of all of my mental issues until I decided to get clean from being addicted to prescription opiates for almost 13 years. Finding out what was actually wrong in my head knowing that what I was feeling wasn't normal and that I could actually get help for it instead of self medicating with street drugs. In my recovery Journey I have gotten closer to the Lord above and I have truly growing stronger and stronger each day because of my faith and my prayers. Everything I am he gives me the strength to do and I am truly grateful for that therefore I would like to give back in some way by becoming a listener and maybe can help people like myself just by giving an extra Ear. I was a teen mother I lost my mom when I was 16 I was in a abusive/ captive relationship from the age 13 until 22. I have dealt with a lot of childhood trauma is well as a lot of adult trauma and I recently just been able to become okay with speaking about what happened to me instead of holding it all. Ever since I was young I would do with problems by basically putting them in a jar and putting them on a shelf in the back of my head and not even worry about it and now that I'm 38 and many years have went by all my trauma and issues that were on dealt with memories that were forgotten have now been coming Crashing Down and all the jars are breaking because my shelf is too full and I have to learn how to deal with each one individually and one-on-one in order to heal from my past and have a good future so if there is anything I can do to help somebody heal from their past and prepare for their future I'm definitely willing to help. And if I can't help I can always say a prayer to find you the help I cannot provide,
