10. You might want to talk to me if….
If you are dealing with a mental illness or someone you care about is suffering and struggling with a mental illness, please reach out and contact me. As I have shared I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and Depression. I understand and empathize with what you are dealing with. I am not a therapist or a councelor but a friendly ear willing to listen. Another area I can help is if you have questions about how to become a Catholic or belonging to the Catholic Church, I can talk with you about the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). If you enjoy movies or want someone to go with to the show or live theatre, let me know. I enjoy good food too.
