T R Lilly

T. R. Lilly was correctly diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and depression and was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder. After having been improperly medicated for a condition she didn’t have and having multiple admissions to locked psych units, T. R. chose to become her own advocate. She believes that good mental and emotional health can involve any combination of up to three components—talk therapy, medication, and a spiritual connection to God.

T. R. chooses to tell her story at every opportunity to raise awareness for mental health and suicide awareness and is now pursuing an education in the field of psychology and human services. She has spoken out in the community, at work, and in her church.

Her goal is to help all people realize that they have worth, great value and that God loves them. T. R. shares a deeply seeded awareness of that pains that come from needing to have better mental and emotional health and is a strong advocate for speaking of these things. These are the reasons T. R. is passionate in her advocacy of mental health and suicide awareness and sees a need to talk about the things that most people choose to hide
