I am a stay at home person spend a lot of time watching old movies and doing arts and crafts. I have fybromyalgia and Bipolar disorder and had to quit work 14 years ago. I have a degree in social services and have done volunteer work for NAMI which is the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Taught classes at the Local NAMI in coping with Mental Illness. Spoke to area organizations through a program called IN Our Own Voice which is an awareness program that educates people about mental illness. I facilitated an art group at NAMI., also took calls on the Warm line which was a line people could call in on when they wanted to talk about problems they wre having with their mental illness. Much of that has stopped now due to my own illness.. But I intend to go back to it again some day. Right now I am enjoying my time at home. After all art is therapy.
