Bailey’s Story:

I am so excited that my aunt and I could collaborate to create this candle!

My story began in my first year of university. I found myself trapped in a constant state of depression that lasted over a year. I was struggling a lot and constantly found myself laying in bed, falling behind in school, isolating myself from my friends and ignoring activities that I once loved. After my first year of university, I returned home, and there was a distinct shift in my energy levels. I went from dealing with the worst state of depression to suddenly feeling happy for the first time in a year. Little did I know, this sudden change would spiral into something beyond my control. Fast forward a few weeks later - I faced one of the scariest manic episodes of my life. I was not in control of my body and truly had no idea who I was. Thankfully, my family cared for me when I was not able to care for myself and I got the help that I needed to get back on my feet. Fast forward almost six years later I am now a proud mental health advocate. I like to say that my story has been both a blessing and a curse. A curse, because my brain changed in a way that I did not think was possible. But even more so, a blessing - because I was able to publish a book about my journey, spread awareness and continue to use my voice as a way to help others dealing with mental illness. Sometimes the scariest things in life shape us into who we’re meant to be. They make us stronger. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! Take care of yourselves - this month and always!
