I've come a long way... from trying to meet my parents' expectations, to following my own ambitions, to getting lost in American Corporate culture.
At one time, it seemed that I've had it all: a good marriage, 2 beautiful children, a respectable and well-paid job. But inside I was yawning for more. I was freaked out about not knowing where my passion lies or what I'm gifted to do.
Finally, I decided to challenge myself to find out about my passion in life, through a series of self-reflexion and dialogue with my friends, in writing.
I started that journey last year, when my 2nd daughter was still an infant. 1 month later, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, a form of mental illness that was unheard of where I grew up.
I don't need to get into details. In short, I'm fine now. I've been seeing a few therapists and a psychologist for over 1 year now, I take medication, I exercise. With their help, I've dealt with the demons from my past, and throughout that process, I got to know more about myself and about their professions.
That's why I want to help people who may not realize that they need help, people like myself. There are many on WXC as well, I'm sure.
