My name is Laura and I am a 24 year old female.

I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, depression. I have battled it all my life, switch medications often, and just have been frustrated with the illness. My high school days were filled with mania. My mania consisted of spending money, road trips, or just impulsive. But I worked very hard in therapy and now have a great sense of self awareness. Anxiety was also a major part in these disorders, and my sleeping and eating were disturbed. I currently am doing wonderful. I have made outstanding leaps and now am able to do things that I would never have thought I would be well enough to enjoy, like moving away from home, being married and very responsible with my money. 
I would really like an opportunity to help others out. I know how difficult this disorder is and I do want to help many people. I have spoken at a couple of high schools in regards to depression, post traumatic stress and bipolar disorder.
