Ive never really done one of these, but Im feeling it especially strong today so why not- its #talkaboutittuesday. Mental illness is real, same as an infection, cancer, or a broken bone. The impact it can have on someones life is enormous, and its not something you can easily identify properly much less treat effectively. In some cases, it can have such an impact that it ends a life. Ive been depressed for as long as I know. I dont know when it started, but I dont have a single happy memory that isnt tainted by this disease. Birthdays, parties, even my own wedding day (which was the happiest day of my life) have this dark haze beneath them. On the darkest, Ive considered ending it. Even on the brightest, theres a part of me that whispers this wont fix you. This is my day, every single day. I love all of you dearly, and am incredibly fortunate to have each of you in my life for a reason. You have given me gifts beyond measure, and I could never thank you enough. All I ask is that you remember that none of us ever knows what someone else is going through, so please- have kindness in all you do, always.
