In short: Around five years ago I was assaulted and as a result I developed PTSD and depression. I was undiagnosed for around three years and finally got the help I needed after my body started causing me so much physical pain, I could barely move. Despite lots of scans and investigation, it seemed there was nothing physically wrong with me. My chiropractor eventually put 2+2 together, and found me a therapist. Somehow as a part of my recovery, I ended up becoming a yoga teacher. Now, I've managed to kick most of my PTSD and depression symptoms - drug-free - and have a two year plan to pay off my debts and then sell all my worldly possessions in order to do more yoga studies and do what I can to help others. Especially those suffering mental health issues, because I now know how much yoga helps in those situations! You can read the back story about why my blog exists on my blog!

I personally believe that things happen for a reason. When looking back at my own recent experiences, some choices I made were seemingly strange and random - yet as a result could possibly have saved my life. For example, I was living in Thailand with my son and for whatever reason - maybe I was sick of being there, wanted an adventure, a new home, etc. I moved to Malta. I didn't care for living there and after only 3 or 4 months, moved back to my home state of Wisconsin. When others asked why I moved to Malta or returned to the states - it's hard to remember what in the world I was thinking at that time. But very shortly after returning to Wisconsin, I had a doctor's appt, very normal yearly exam. At that appt. I found out I had CIN III preinvasive cervical cancer. I know now that if those events didn't happen as they did, I'd have an advanced stage cancer or worse at this point. I had to have a surgery to remove those cells and was fine. Three years later, it is back again but not as severe. I just believe things happen for a reason and it may be hard to see it while enduring it, but afterwards it is neat to come to that realization and understanding. I wouldn't change one second of my life because I may not be where I am at now. :) I love the idea of this project and this type of documentary. I personally believe that things happen for a reason.

But that particular story seems to be fine. Try refreshing the page because you might be looking at a cached version? Also there is a safety measure implemented to prevent repeat voting from the same computer or IP. Some folks have noticed that they can't vote for the same story multiple times. Of course, that's a good thing! But you can vote other stories if you like them. Thanks for voting! A few days ago we were having an issue with some of the voting displays.
