Bershan's Story
I grew up embarrassed that my family was dealing with mental illness. My mom tried to hide her truth. She was embarrassed about family issues she experienced while growing up. My mother ignored the trauma and pain and tried to push the experiences away. She turned a blind eye to it, that’s when I realized that mental illness and dealing with mental health is cyclical. Now, as an adult, I am a champion for mental health and wellness. I know all too well how people suffer in silence and not do anything about it. I DID! And I don’t want anyone to experience the mental and emotional suffering I lived through growing up.
Yet, post-pandemic, mental health concerns are at a crisis level. Isolation and loss of social touch have impacted our well-being. Opioid addiction has skyrocketed. Crime is on the rise and Suicide numbers are at an all time high. On a very personal note, I witnessed my neighbor’s heavy emotions mere hours before he died by suicide. Even Elon Musk said, “I’m at the top of my game and I’m one of the richest people in the world but I feel lonely.”
The most unexpected events have rocked our lives. These events triggered me to speak up, advocate and take charge. I BECAME A WARRIOR! I self-funded this app because I know it’s needed worldwide. And, without hesitation, I birthed the URAWARRIOR app- For teenagers, young adults, men and women who may be embarrassed about their mental struggles and hiding their truth. With URAWarrior, no one needs to suffer in silence. The name URAWARRIOR was created during my days as a stage 4 breast cancer thriver. Doctors told me I had three months to live. Can you imagine one day being a healthy, fun-loving young woman at the prime of my life, and then being told such devastating news.
