Intro-Laura Paxton

I'm a 39 year old woman living in North Carolina, USA, and I'm the woman who started this site. I have Asperger's Syndrome and Bipolar Disorder, as well as an anxiety disorder. I created this site because video support has always been helpful to me and I also like to create support videos and PSA's to educate people about these illnesses and others. Ten years ago, I wrote a book called Borderline and Beyond, which also had an accompanying workbook. I have two master's degrees, one in psychology and one in education with an emphasis on counseling. I've worked in the mental health field and also as a special ed teacher. Currently, I'm on SSDI and I have a part time job working with the mentally ill. I really believe in the power of a good support network, through any means possible. Some people have difficulty reaching out in person, so hopefully this site will offer some of those people what they lack.
