Help me rise again as an artist & creator
“My greatest strength is in my ability to innovate. After serving in the Army, I entered mental therapy programs through the VA. It is well known that the VA process is too slow. I was able to go to college and establish myself as a web designer, event promoter, and freelance artist. But I was not prepared for the challenges of balancing normal life while recovering from PTSD.”
After the war…
“Upon separating from the military, divorce, and moving back home, the next 10 years were a blur of trying to get something going while pairing up with very abusive partners. The experiences stunted my mental therapy and at times, I ended up on the streets or sleeping in a car or storage unit. On one side, I was learning my craft both in art an tech. But as the PTSD and depression swelled, the partners I had reacted in a fearful, abusive way. I had to leave them. And when I did, I was publicly humiliated, slandered, bullied, cancelled, and ignored by a community where I thought I had friends.
In February of 2023 it all culminated to a boiling point. I called the Veteran’s Crisis Line because for the first time in my life, I was completely alone with thoughts of suicide. I was admitted to the hospital and stayed overnight on watch. The experience itself was traumatic. Since then and throughout the years I had been battling depression. But I had a good therapist, and progress had been going well.
I have now completed 13 years of mental therapy. But that is also 13 years of having to start over and over. I am proud of myself and for the first time, I am asking for help for EVERYONE. I can not get back what was taken. I can not get back the years I lost to abuse and depression. But with help, I can achieve artistic heights and catch up so that I can start enjoying life with this clear mind, reconnect with friends and family, and spend more time creating.
I also need to go to court to sue someone for libel. I was publicly called a sexual predator and domestic abuser by a friend of an ex partner. Their goal was to make my business and art go down. I was also cyberbullied constantly online as well. I have all the evidence I need. I just need to able to have some days off. Work is too constant to stop and breathe.
I hope to one day provide a community space for Art Therapy. A place where people can be inspired to learn, create, and express art/music. Goals.
I am VERY behind. Will you help me catch up?
Also, if there is anything I can do for you; web design, DJ, 3D Print, canvas art, please inquire.
