Mental illness is not a sign of weaknesses

We are half way through 2018 and its a shame we still cannot freely talk about mental illness without been labeled as weak, attention seeking, or overly sensitive.

Not long ago, the life of one young lady I used to work with was taken by suicide.

Smiling on social media looking like she had the perfect life behind closed doors fighting a battle with her own mind. This shows how invisible mental illness is.

It’s such a waste of a life that could have potentially been saved if only she felt able to reach out and open up.

Let’s educate young people to know Their MIND Matters and keeping healthy is important.

My journey continues, educating anyone willing to listen to fight the stigma surrounding mental illness and give people struggling with their mental health a safe space to breath
and recover.
