After suffering a series of manic episodes that eventually got her diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she now blogs her story to help others find healing. Marshall’s blog often talks about her dreams of a family, something her diagnosis makes all the more complicated. Still, her blog is about hope. “I have learned so much from my journey thus far and hope that by sharing my experiences I can help other women who may be wondering if they’ll ever be able to make their dreams of a family a reality. You can – I am living proof that it is possible. I take medication and have regular appointments with my psychiatrist and therapist because these are my responsibilities to myself and my family. My incredible support system helps me to live fully and I attribute a great deal of my success to their encouragement over the years.”
