this picture is easily one of my favorites for many reasons, but not for the reasons many would think. the reason i like it so much is because at this time in my life i was at my lowest and holding on to a secret that felt more like a ticking time bomb. wait, what?!
i wasn’t eating a lot, i was abusing my pills and i hated myself. when i look at this picture i’m reminded of how far i’ve come. it’s a reminder that even in moments that the world feels like it’s crashing down on me, it’s not. i now have the perspective of being on the other side of things. i got help from professionals, my family and my friends. they quite literally brought me back to life by loving and supporting me through this time. i share this because it’s a reminder to everyone that no matter how dark and traumatic it seems for you right now, it will get better! ask for help, take care of your brain and check on your friends/family. May is mental health month and i want to continue to share my lessons learned and small victories. ♥️

a note to my younger self.
i’ve seen the adult and youth populations experience mental health challenges over the last two years, and I went through a major mental health crisis myself. i felt isolated, misunderstood, and scared. the support and conversations I needed to have needed to be in person, and that wasn’t an option. i had no healthy way of communicating my problems over the phone or via email/zoom.
if I could go back, i would tell my younger self that the brain is very good at playing tricks on you. very rarely are you in a situation that is as extreme as your brain likes to play it out to be. i had so much anxiety as a kid and would always play out the worst-case scenarios in my head.
whatever you are going through, you’re not alone. during the month of may i will be teaming up with @healthline to spreading awareness, resources and support for mental health.
