Rock on, Jill

#raiseyourhorns

Recently, a talented musician named Jill Janus has taken her own life due to issues with her mental health. Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) has started a movement sparked by this called #raiseyourhorns. The challenge is this: if you have ever battled any sort of mental health issues (or know someone who has), snap a picture of yourself with your horns held high & post it online- From Jules' photography group: 'We need to let people know that they are not alone, that we are all in this together.

Please tag your picture with #raiseyourhorns #endthestigma #mentalhealthawareness'

 

Many members of my family have suffered or are currently suffering with Anxiety, myself included. I have had therapy, and am doing better than I was, but I can still remember what the depths of it were like, and I remember the days where I broke down, couldn't leave the house, kept being misunderstood by friends and struggled to find help, hurt myself and thought about ending it all.

But I got through it, and I'm sure you can too. For all those out there currently fighting, I promise that it will get better. Together we can work towards a brighter and happier future, with no stigma against those with Mental health issues. So let's all raise our horns in memory of a wonderful woman, and in hope of a bright new day.
