Christene
(She/Her)
Hello All, I'm Christene. I am living with managed bipolar disorder and I am always working on my anxiety and agoraphobia. I believe in the power of peer-to-peer role model recovery, formal therapy, and Radical Acceptance; a form of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). It has been life changing for me! I am 56, live in the Mid-West, a mother of 3 boys (adult twins and a teenager), I have a black Chow Chow pup named Tulip, and I am a coffee addict. I love D grade horror comedies, Jamocha Almond Fudge ice-cream, and my phone's calendar app is how I stay sane. I look forward to meeting you! :)

About
What I Hope to Share
I truly believe the intrapersonal relationships formed in these safe spaces foster the much needed diverse social connections we need as people. I am here to learn as well as share my experiences with others.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
After a couple years of therapy I've recently learned to abandon defensiveness and lean into mindfulness. I am a passionate advocate for mental health and emotional growth. I’m looking forward to exploring this community for connection, support, and self discovery, both giving and receiving.
