April 15 is a symbolic day for me because it was on this afternoon three years ago, I met Ann, my guardian angel on an Amtrak ride from New York to Baltimore.
\nWhat a perfect day, then, to attend the Mood Disorders Research\/Education Symposium hosted by Johns Hopkins Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
\nJust two years ago, I arrived at the campus of Johns Hopkins a fragile mess: shaking, crying, feeling completely out of control. I remember looking at the students and doctors on the campus and thinking to myself, “Will I ever be able to give anything back to the world, like they do?”
\nIt’s an appropriate day for me to hear my mental health hero, Kay Redfield Jamison, speak, and to hopefully meet her in person before or after her talk.
\nI’ve posted the schedule below in case you have specific questions about any one of these talks.
\nThank you for giving me a reason to chase after my mental health as avidly as I do, for being the supportive community that you are.<\/p>\n
