Hello Darkness, my old friend.
About a year ago, shit got seriously real in my personal life. This isn't a place to divulge the details but it has been the darkest year I've ever experienced.
Sertraline was my medicinal companion for the past 6 months while I figured out how to feel human again.
I've been fascinated by the public perception of mental health. The mere phrase 'mental health' will already have made its way into your cerebral cortex and your subconscious will have provided you with information on how to interpret those two words. For most, indeed even for me pre-shit year, the connotations are largely negative.
This troubles me as the amount of people I meet who actually have battled with anxiety or depression is widespread. It pains me to think how many people have suffered in silence due to their own insecurities concerning how the world would treat them should they admit to not being 'ok'.
Well I've been there.
I wasn't ok.
Its ok not to be ok.
