I am Ashley De La Hoz, I am 30 years old and proudly part of the LGBTQ+ community, I currently work for NYS. My hobbies and interest are reading and Taylor swift and to most of my friends being the Disney adult in their life

I have lived with a variety of mental illness issues but the most prevalent in my life have been anxiety and depression it has been a journey with good and bad days. When those bad days come I often lean on my friends and family for support; when the bad days became unbearable I found that talking to someone became monumental and found myself an amazing therapist. Healing isn’t linear and recovery isn’t being cured of my mental illness but it is living everyday managing my symptom better.

Mental illness has been some thing that I have always lived with and have been fortunate enough to find and have resources to help me throughout my journey, NAMI strives to help others who are struggling with mental illness, and that is some thing that I will always be a champion for.
