I am a forty year old stay at home mother. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression, adult onset asthma, an anxiety disorder, and diabetes. I began writing as a creative outlet for my out of control emotions due to my depression and as a way to vent my frustrations with my other illnesses. I found that I enjoyed writing and have chosen to continue with it. The subject of my writing is usually personal, based on my own experiences, opinions, and thoughts.
