So It begins

Hi everyone my name is Lisa. This is actual my first in detail blog on this website. I at one point had another word press website called Steering through Mental Health. I decided to close down that site and open up this new called Living In Health. For me putting everything under one umbrella was really important to me. For me living in health and not in disease is important.

Let me take sometime to talk about my history. I have suffered from mental health for most of my life. With medication it is under pretty good control though. In my mid to late thirties I began to experiment with narcotics for 15 years. I belong to NA and will be celebrating three years clean the end of Feb 2021. Over the last year my body has been shown physical signs of something going in. It looks like me may be in the final stages of figuring out is going on. I will be glad when we are able to find a label for what is going on. Then we can move into treating it.

With all of the above going on it is important for me to remember that I am a human being first. My diseases are part of me but they are not me. Having this philosophy is helping to keep me strong.

If you enjoyed what you read here let me know. Also I am interested in connecting with others that share similar interests.
