Hey there! I’m Angela, creator of The Mental Refuge. I created this site to let others know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in January 2017, I know what it’s like to live with a major mental illness.
I also know what it’s like to be a wife, mom, and a Christian while living with a mental illness, and how unbearably difficult that can be. My hope is that you come to this site and realize that you’re not alone. With the help of Jesus, therapy, medication, and sites like this…we can get through the trenches together.
So come join along…subscribe to the newsletter, read a blog post, listen to the podcast, or buy some inspirational shirts. Whatever helps you in your journey…I’m here for you.
“He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge“
PSALM 91:4
