Mental illness is a tough topic to deal with. There are a lot of people out there that (understandably) dont know what to say, because you cant fix it immediately. If someone twists an ankle, put a brace on it! If you fall and scrape your knee, clean the wound and put a bandage on it! Depression (along with other mental health issues) is invisible and manifests in many different ways for everyone who deals with it. It took me years to find a balance, sometimes barely holding on to the day with my fingertips, praying for a brighter tomorrow. Depression is real and its also the biggest liar I know, filling your head with lie after lie until you believe it. If you feel depressed, there is no shame whatsoever in speaking up. Thats often the hardest step, I know. When things were so bad for me in Nashville, my mama called doctors in my area all the way from Iowa because picking up the phone seemed impossible at the time. But someone will be in your corner. Someone will fight for you until you can fight for yourself. Please, if youre struggling, speak up. There is still life to be lived, and it is beautiful. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse...
