    About Me

    I am a school bus driver that works with special needs children. I have a 4year old son and a very supportive husband. I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 16 and have been looking for the "right" treatment ever since. Nothing has seemed to do the trick. On top of bipolar I also suffer from PTSD, OCD, and social phobia. FUN!!!!

    Interests

    I love to read, I'm learning to knit and I like to watch movies with my husband

      Oh my, I really have no words that can express the feeling in my heart for you, your husband and son. I truly can only imagine how it must be for you. I will offer up prayer for you son and family.
