The movement is......
I self-injured from a young age. I have lived with and in depression. I know the overwhelming feeling of despair as it washes over every part of your mind and heart, like a dark wave that wants to drown you.
I know hope. I know that healing is possible and that the wave of depression doesn't have to win.
For everyone we have lost....
For those who have survived......
For those who are still in the fight for their life.....
You are in my heart today.
You are LOVED!

What a beautiful article! I lost a friend to suicide when I was younger. I've also suffered from depression nearly all my life and my daughter was just diagnosed with depression recently. This really hit home for me.

Is it weird that this made me cry?
ReplyDeleteI did this, too. I have someone I cherish who spent most of their life battling depression before a therapist helped her through counsel and medication. She spent a life time harming herself before she found her answers. I loved doing this because wherever I went people asked and I explained. I did get a few weird looks, but for the most part people were so receptive.
ReplyDeleteMental health and all its issues needs to be brought into the light. There is no shame in it. It's why so many people suffer for far too long because they keep it closeted away.
That's wonderful. I hope word gets out more and more so that people who need help not only know where to get it, but feel comfortable asking for it.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Saturday Sharefest.
