From Darkness to Resilience

As a child, I grew up in a home where domestic violence was an all-too-familiar backdrop. From the tender age of four until my twelfth year, I bore witness to the painful cycle of aggression and fear. My parents’ eventual divorce at twelve marked a turning point, but it also left me largely unsupervised during my formative years. The absence of guidance led me down a treacherous path—one paved with drug and alcohol abuse. Life felt like a hazy dream, as if I were perpetually veiled from reality. I moved through the days, a mere shadow of existence, until I reached the age of 35. At that critical juncture, I was merely going through the motions—two divorces, six children, and a mounting sense of despair. Suicide loomed as a haunting option. But then, a lifeline emerged: TMS therapy. This groundbreaking treatment pulled me from the abyss, illuminating a path toward healing and resilience. Now, I stand here—a survivor, a storyteller, and an advocate for mental health. My journey from darkness to light has shaped my purpose: to share my story, break the silence, and inspire others to find their own lifelines.
