From bullying to chronic pain to entrepreneur with Karina Kantas




At A Crossroads with The Naked Podcaster show

Summary: I was bullied throughout my schooling. From lower school right to college. It seemed a target was always on my back. . I published my first book back in 2008. Thank to S.E.Hinton's The Outsiders, In Times of Violence was born. . I came on holiday to Greece when I was 18 and met my husband but it wasn't all roses. And I became ill from stress and developed type 1 diabetes. .I continued writing and self-publishing my books. As my health continued to deteriorate. . In 2015 I started up Author Assist. Offering affordable author services to authors. . I was cyberbullied by my local friends and ended up staying in my house for two years before I started being social again. . My new set of friends abanded me when I developed Fibromyalgia and couldn't keep up with their social activities. . Again I was alone. But I thank God for my virtual friends, my amazing Greek husband and my two girls. . I live with chronic pain, chronic insomnia, depression, memory problems, an underactive thyroid, type one diabetes, nerve damage in my neck, disintegrating discs in my back, the start of carpal tunnel and many other added to the growing list. I can't walk far without the aid of a stick. My health stopped me living. My daughters look after me . My 11-year-old is like my nurse knowing the medication I take and making sure I'm okay. My husband is like a housewife and cleans and does the things I'm supposed to do, but can't. And none of them ever complain. . Even though I live this deliberating life, I have an amazing family, who will do anything for me. I have 13 books published and working on another 2. Author Assist has been going for 5 years now and my services keep growing and I just been nominated in the top 100 of the Global Book Community Award. . I keep myself busy with Author Assist, my YouTube show, Behind The Pen, my Radio show,, Author Assist and my writing. . For my kids, for my family, I make sure I get out of bed every day and keep a smile on my face.
