Hi, my name is Nick and I am a surgical technologist in Cleveland. I've been helping and serving people for most of my young career. In that time, I have neglected my own health and it's finally caught up to me. Over the past two years, my personality changed, as well as my behaviors. I pushed my wife, friends, and family away without knowing it. I had such impulses and urges to do reckless things. Then in March of 2024, I attempted suicide. My life was in shambles and I saw no way out. Weeks later after my hospitalization, I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder. I made a decision to switch to part-time, as I go through the IOP therapy program at University Hospitals.

During my time in the program, I've learned more about myself than I ever thought I could. My behaviors have changed, my mind has changed, and my life has changed. But with this comes an enormous financial strain. I'm behind on almost every bill you can think of and my wife can only support so much. It's hard for me to do this and make this GoFundMe, but I'm in need of help.
