I noticed a thoughtful note, attached to the bridge in order to prevent people from taking their lives by jumping into the river.
Mental Health Awareness Month - Slow down, find your words, and breath. Depression is difficult to put into words.
#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.
Reposting after hearing about Robin Williams. Sad day. The constant reminder that the face of depression is anyones and could even be yours.
Depression and anxiety can happen to anyone. I found out the hard way when my own battle became official in February 2012. If its happening to you, know that you are not alone. Support is out there.
Not happening to you? Then know that it could be torturing someone very close to you and they may be too scared to tell anyone. Do your research to know the signs so that you can help those you love that may be suffering.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the US but lets not wait till May, let's start now.
Please go to the National Alliance on Mental Illness website to learn more and to help in any way possible.
"You know when you’re in a bad dream and you’re trying to run, punch, kick, or scream, and your body just won’t move? You open your mouth and nothing comes out. You feel frozen or in slow motion, and no matter how hard you try to fight it, nothing changes. That’s how it feels to battle mental illness". -- Evyenia

Anxiety hit me last night, so I created this to express my feeling of sinking deep under water, feeling as if I couldn't breathe. How dark and cold the bottom feels.
Yet, even though I found myself sinking, there was some light to be seen. As far off as it may be, there is still some light.
There is beauty to be found in darkness, we just have to take a breath, and try to look past the darkness that is so easy to fall into.
"When the world around you is all crackling dust, and endings without beginnings, and you feel it's time to remove your shadow for good...to remove your laughter...I hope, instead, that you reach for that final page you're staring at and pick up a permanent marker, and you strike hard through The End, and you scream out loud, "NO, I WILL LIVE!" because (listen) this is just another beginning because (really listen) There's someone out there whose next breathe holds all its faith in seeing your smile again" Erin Van Vuren
Green Ribbon Month - Mental Health Awareness
I felt the actor in the Flash Mob was pointing out, to me, the challenge he engages with daily and that it is not an 'even playing field' for everyone, so I left the image slightly tilted.
