My name is Jen and this is my blog. I am 29 years old and I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I live with my brother, his cat, Felix, and my cat, Kitty, AKA Chub B. Kins. I like to read other blogs, and enjoy Netflix (who doesn't, right?). Check out the "Recommended Links" page for links to my personal social networking pages (and there's other great stuff there too).
I have schizoaffective disorder which was diagnosed about eight years ago. I have struggled with depression, mania, delusions, hallucinations, suicide attempts, self harm, hospitalizations, and more. Someday I hope to write a book on my experiences with mental illness.
It is my hope that the stigma surrounding mental illness becomes nothing but a chapter in the history books. I hope that mental health care becomes available to everyone that is suffering and better treatments are found. I think open discussion and education is the beginning.
I hope you have a wonderful new year this 2014. Well wishes. :)
