Meet the Sad Girl-- L I L L Y M.
Hi! I'm Lilly M. I lived fractured, scared, and hidden for 23 years. Now, I live open & wide awake, expressing my truth and honoring how I feel, every day.
From the age of 15, I began to experience mild depression. Once I started college, this blossomed into major depressive syndrome coupled with dissociation, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and ADHD. All of this went undiagnosed until my mental illness became so debilitating that I was academically suspended from my undergraduate program. (No worries--after failing out and losing my scholarship, I reapplied and got back in, and reclaimed my full scholarship. Bad bitch shit, I know). This was my first wake up call of many.
This blog chronicles my healing journey which ultimately began in 2018. Through my tales, I share my experience and learnings on how to build emotional resilience and personal security. Most importantly, I give you insight into how I live aligned with my Higher Self through daily ritual and practice. My hope is that baring it all will help to destigmatize mental illness and encourage readers to seek greater personal empowerment to awaken to their highest potential.
Other than that, I'm a Jersey girl--born & raised, currently based outside of Manhattan in the Hoboken/Jersey City area. Catch me outside on these streets one day, how bou' that ✌🏾✨
