“I am from Michigan. I retired and moved here four years ago because my son and daughter-in-law live here. My daughter lives in New Zealand and I tried for six months to go through the hurdles of immigration and be an expat, but it was too hard. I taught my daughter she can do anything, so she is. I love it here. A doctor here also discovered that I am a bipolar and getting the right diagnosis changed my life. Before I was diagnosed, I did okay because I was put on anti-depressants for recurrent depression and could manage my life. I had a cushy life in Michigan so I didn’t have a lot of stresses. I was a stay-at-home-mom for 15 years. I was surrounded by a support system and went back to work as a speech therapist. I loved the job and could do the creative part and playing with the kids all day, but it was so hard to write the reports. I couldn’t do the paperwork if the stack got too high. I would usually quit before they fired me.
