I tried to find the right diagnosis or the right cocktail of mental health medications that would fix me, like they did my mom. But what I noticed is, after I healed from the surgeries and I still had the pills, that I had a lot of energy, I noticed that I could get up and play with my kids and take them to school, or bake cookies with them, or clean my house, or desire to have a conversation with a human.
