Today is World Mental Health Day. Lets try our hardest to end the stigma that comes with mental illness. Ive struggled with anxiety and depression for around 10 years now. Back when I was 12 years old I didnt understand what any of that was. I was being told I had it, with no idea what was wrong. I thought it was normal to have such horrible thoughts each night. Today I know its not. Today Im still fighting a battle, but slowly getting closer to recovery. The next 6 months are going to be a string of hospital appointments, medication changes and more therapy. But I know in the end it will all be worth it. I will recover from this illness. You wouldnt hide your broken leg, your diabetes or any other illness. So mental illness shouldnt have to be hidden, hoping nobody will find out. 1 in 5 of us will experience a mental illness in a 12 month period. Dont suffer in silence, take care of your mental health, and help others take care of theirs.
