8 Lessons I Have Learnt Through My Mental Illness (and How My Life Has Improved with WordPress)

On 28 April 2012, my life changed forever and I could not do much about it. I lost my companion, had to give away my 14 year old daughter to a children’s home and in the end also lost my job. I spent 16 weeks on rehab in a trauma clinic where doctors told me that I am mentally ill: Depression, Borderline, PTSD, etc. and disabled for work.

This talk is about the lessons I have learnt to change my way from “I am mentally ill, can not work any more and have no perspectives” to “I am mentally ill; despite this I shape my life and run a business”.

Do not let others define who you are: change your perspective and new opportunities arise. No matter how bad your situation may look.

WordPress is a good way to start: not only as a software for your business website but the community around it.
