I know it has been a long time. Life happened. It got hard to let people in on it. Not much has changed other than I have felt an overwhelming push to get active again. I don’t know if it is for my own therapy and healing or if it is to help others who may be going through the same dark struggle. Either way I am driven to write about the good, the bad and the ugly so hold on to your hats because the ride may be bumpy. It’s a lonely fight that ravages not only the knight who must wage war, but all those who love him. I know you may be lonely, depressed or anxious. Know that you are not alone. In a country where those with mental illness, regardless of the type, are treated as societal outcasts who just need to suck it up instead of being treated just like those who suffer from any other illness it only makes the problem worse. The stigma associated with depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and all the others causes those who suffer to do so in silence. THIS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH! We are failing each other. We need to be there for each other. Please reach out to those around you who may be suffering. Please help create an atmosphere of inclusion instead of one of exclusion. One where we genuinely care about the well-being of those around us.
