I am an English Literature graduate who is writing a book. I lived in Paris for a year working as an au pair, and I have plenty of stories from my time there. My mother has bipolar disorder, and I was a young carer to her from the age of 9. I myself have had my own mental health problems, including 2 overdoses and plenty of counselling. My life has been an up and down rollercoaster full of love and hate and stress. I have done plenty of things I regret, and still regret some of them, but in the end, this is my life, and every step I have taken is it adds to my story.
