September is Suicide Prevention Month


September is Suicide Prevention Month.


In light of this, I want to talk about mental health.


Specifically, my struggle with it.


But, if you have a story you'd like to share, I encourage you to reach out.


I struggle with C-PTSD


Anxiety, depression, and a chemical imbalance are the prominent symptoms for me. August is my trigger month.


This year, it hit me harder than it has in the past. The anxiety and panic that come with it are devastating and constant.


The fear that something is going to happen is unrelenting.


The sadness is all-consuming at times. The knowledge that I can do something about it often gets forgotten.


And I'm left feeling alone, unwanted & distraught. Mostly, I start to believe that I'm unworthy & a bad person.


So, today, I share my feelings in the hopes that they'll no longer have power over me.


Today, I share my feelings in the hopes that if you're feeling the same way, know that you are loved, worthy, and needed.


If you are feeling any of these things, please reach out. If you don't want to reach out to me, reach out to someone.


The struggle is real. Your pain is valid. But it's never forever.


It can always get better.


If you don't feel as though you have anyone, call 988, 911, visit https://988lifeline.org/, chat with someone at https://988lifeline.org/chat/
