Hello again. I must apologize for the lack of posting these past few months. I've started a bigger project, and it's taking up much of my time. You see, I am writing a book to share my journey with mental illness. It has always been my dream to become an author. And what better way to start than by writing what you know?
I think it's so important for us to get our stories out there. Although there are not two equal experiences with mental illness, seeing it out there and knowing you're represented is huge. It's a major step toward removing the stigma around metal health issues and helping people take a hold of their condition. I can only hope the things I write help someone in some way. Even one person is a victory.
I hope to continue sharing blogs as I write my story. The frequency may be less often, but these issues are never gone. I'll leave you with this.
Take today to make an impact. It doesn't have to be on someone with a mental illness. It can be anyone. Reach out. Ask someone how they're doing. Ask how you can make their day better. Or it you're the one who needs a helping hand, make a small request. Ask for some quiet time. Or ask for a hug. Only communication can help us escape from our heads.
