Hi, I'm Shannon Samuels, and I am madly, insanely, and completely in love with my husband of 3 years now, SPC Eric D Samuels, and we have a wonderful life together. We have been through the best and worst of things together, we have fallen in love so many times and in so many ways, and we can't wait to find another and another... We are each other's everything...
< What a blessed life! .. we have two goregous,zanny, loving,daughters, Draven is 12 , Joycelyn is 3 now ...they always keep us laughing and always remind us that I we loved...and constantly making us thank the Gods for having tubes tied!!! LOL...And we have two crazy Basset Hounds...Hamish (or Hammy aka "freckle boy") and Izzabelle (our lil Dizzy Izzy) and they keep us hopping too.
We live on Vance Air Force Base in Enid, OK. and we love being a military family...Hooah all the way... That's right, Eric is an Army Reservist, and we are going through our second 15 month deployment...ugh, we are so thankful for every moment we have together...Blessings and light to all the soldiers still out there rocking the sandbox...come home safe and we are praying for you...Shannon:
I also live with BPD, otherwise called Borderline Personality Disorder, along with a few other "sister disorders"( PTSD, Anxiety Disorder, Depression,& Disassociative Identity Disorder). I was diagnosed over 5 years ago but we know now that it has overlooked most of my life. I am considered a "high-functioning borderline" but everyday is a struggle, and I have the BEST friends and family and HUSBAND in the world...they love me when i feel unloveable, give me worth when i feel worthless, and pull me up when I fall down (aka :relapse). Thank you so much to everyone who supports me and loves me like only you can, i am blessed to have each and everyone of you...and to my loving, patient as hell, dedicated husband, Eric...you are my light in all the darkness. i know if I can just take your hand,no matter how far away you are , i will always feel safe and validated...i love you so very much.

I am a true advocate for the illness and hope to educate and help as many as i can with our story... i am truely blessed and even when it is hard, and find purpose in having others lean on me for support. Having this illness doesn't mean you can't make it us a couple, or as a family...get educated, and remember there are people around you who love you, who feel your pain, people who can help.
<BP daily affirmation:
I am in control of my world and my body. I am responsible for myself. I release this unnecessary stress and allow my body and mind to relax into a comfortable state of being. I am calm and relaxed. I have a positive and optimistic mental attitude.
