why i will always be honest about my mental health

a lot of people might question why i post the things i do online about my depression, anxiety, and other mental struggles. i am VERY open about the things i face, and there’s a reason for that.

when i was younger, i was alone in these struggles and mental health seemed like a very taboo topic to the people and adults around me- even though my school administrators would like us to believe otherwise. the truth is that even the people we were meant to rely on didn’t really understand how to help.

i will never feel ashamed now, to speak up on these issues and tear down the walls and barriers- and i am not alone in this. i see so many people who center their content around mental health and talk about subjects that might make us uncomfortable sometimes. it has given me the strength and confidence to do the same over the years, and i have never strayed from sharing that online.

there are so many things that we all struggle with and suffer through, and these things are not easy to endure.

please know that you are not alone, even though you feel alone. i am not alone, even though i feel that way. i hope one day that i can continue my studies in psychology and make a positive impact and contribution to the world of mind, and body, and soul.

i just wanted to say this because i definitely plan on sharing more about my struggles with my mental health, and i’m also interested in hearing any different perspectives about this subject.

:) thanks for reading.
