The Stigma

We need to dismiss the stigma of mental health. In doing so, we ourselves must realize it is a condition that we must deal with. The symptoms do not define who we are, but something we must face and deal with. 



We should not be afraid to talk about them or seek help for them. It takes a strong person to realize that help is needed, and a stronger person to seek that help, so in no way are we weak because we have a mental illness! 

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's an illness we have, we are not the illness, and it is treatable, so seek out the information and act on it. There are people out there who care and are there to support us, take the step and reach out!  





I just feel the urge to walk!
