Ten years ago, Rebecca Lombardo was in a psychiatric hospital after a suicide attempt — believing she was a burden, broken, and beyond help. Today, she shares the powerful story of everything that’s changed since.
In this honest and deeply human conversation, Rebecca reflects on the decade that followed: how she found the right doctor after 25 years of searching, how she’s learned to manage bipolar disorder with self-awareness and hard work, and how her husband’s steady support helped her find solid ground. She talks openly about the daily effort it takes to stay well, the power of positive self-talk, and why sharing her story is part of her healing.
If you’ve ever felt like things will never get better, Rebecca’s journey is proof that healing is real — and it doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
