Hi, my name is Melianne Hernandez, a survivor of Domestic Violence, Suicidal Ideations, and Mental Health illnesses (PTSD, Mania, Depression and Anxiety). A United States Marine Corps veteran and a former Law Enforcement Officer. Yet, none of that training prepared me for what would occur within 2016-2018. Follow me on my Journey of recovery and healing and hopefully we can stand by each other a stronger version of what we were.   Survival Perspectives is not only about my personal journey but a space where others can share their story and where they are in their current path of survival, but also a place where I welcome those who were there at the beginning and helped me find myself.  My new self.  Keep on surviving in this crazy world we live in.
