22Millions of wonderful, caring, compassionate individuals suffer from some kind of mental illness in this country.

I happen to be one of them.  I have anxiety and depression and I’m here to share my story with others so that they, too, feel they are not alone.  I recently went public with my illness and although it was a difficult thing to do, I found it very necessary .  You see, I lost my job at the end of 2014.  I was a flight attendant for a major airline for almost 21 years.   For the first time in my career, I let my personal struggles interfere with my work environment.  Because I didn’t seek the necessary assistance through the programs they offer, i was let go.  It was to say the least, devastating.

Although it is difficult to talk about, I feel an obligation to the public to discuss it as openly and as honestly as I know how.  I hope that by sharing my story, it will help others feel that they are not alone.

The most profound impact I have recently discovered is how debilitating it is on the human soul.    I have made wellness adjustments in my life and have decided to share my life-long journey and to help others.  I believe this is the formula to life free of the darkness.  Connect with Kathy
