This Is My Coping Skill
Address
My name is LeeAna I am 15 years old and this is my coping skill.
I started having seizures as a baby and at age 2 I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I also struggle with processing and relaying emotion, depression, and anxiety. I have always loved art and anything where I can create or make a mess.
I was invited to a craft show by a family friend. I decided to make jewelry for the sale. As I was creating my inventory I fell in love with it. When I am creating items I get completely lost in it. It is as though all of my anger, worries, and weaknesses just disappear. Every piece I make I put thought and love into. After the show I wanted to continue making jewelry so my parents made a special work area for me in the house. Mom said I would have to continue to sell to keep up with the cost of my supplies (also she doesn't want me keeping hundreds of pairs of earrings in my room). I started selling to friends and family, people at school, Instagram, and Facebook.
Mom was looking for other ways to list and sell my items when she found Go Imagine. We both love the mission and agree that this was the best choice.
I still continue to sell on Facebook, Instagram, at shows and to friends and family. Please feel free to follow me on social media. Thank you for all your support!
