Why did I start a blog? Let me start with the fact that mental health affects everyone. You don't need to have a mental illness to struggle with your mental health. People treat physical health like the priority; if you're sick you get time off work, you go to the doctors, you get treated right away, and no one questions your character for it. Mental health has taken the backseat and I think it's time that changed. I'm here to be vulnerable, real, open, and brutally honest. This blog is a way for me to express my own personal thoughts, concerns, and victories with my own mental health while also being a voice and supporter for those who need to know that what they feel is valid, that their mental health is important, and that there's someone out there that cares.
