I've had a great time YouTubing in an alter ego, but now I want to tell you who I really am, and move in a different direction. Here's the truth about my past.

  • I started blogging about my mental illnesses both as an outlet for myself, and to raise awareness to everyone else that we dont all need to be in straightjackets and rooms with padded walls. To see you, a functioning member of society who is able to hold down a job and support herself, makes me feel really good. I'm struggling right now to stay in college. I hope I get get to that place of stability too one day soon!

  • Thank you so much for posting! I think it's amazing when people want to raise awareness the way you do. Is your blog public? If so, please post the address.

  • oh! and i thought of you one day recently (creepy?) because i saw an old friend who has moved to philadelphia (and was home visiting) and she started talking about the philadelphia weekly and how all her friends grab it as soon as they see it!

  • Not creepy at all! In fact I was just talking to my boss about you today, trying to explain why your videos are so fun to watch (he's still trying to figure out why YouTube is a good idea). Anyway, tell your friend to get in touch and I'll show her the sights.

see all

  • you are great!!

  • hi - I just did a search and found your blog information

    I wonder, since I am new to this blog - do you have more current blogs as well?

    Thank you for your work

  • u r asome

  • Liz, you are doing a great thing! Keep it up! I have a brilliant son with bipolar and if you break down the stigma against mental illness you'll be helping my son! Bless you!

  • Warm wishes of the very best of luck to you. I've always thought that the mentally ill are going to be the last minority group given basic human rights in this country.

    I'm subscribing to your videos.

  • Hi Liz,

    Saw you on Huf Post. My wife is leaving me today. I have PTSD and severe depression. I drink wine to deal. ( I know, but it beats electroshock therapy). I wish you well and look forward to your posts.

  • Thank you so much for making videos like this-- it makes it so much easier to deal with a mood disorder when I know that I'm not alone. You're a gem, Liz... :)

  • You're adorable, let's go on a date. We can talk about our anti-depressants.

  • yep like it
