This blog is about my real life daily struggle with mental illness. The battle between darkness and light; between life and death. I have come to value and rely on community to encourage me and create accountability in my own journey. I want to expand that community to anyone who finds themselves struggling with mental illness. I am creating a safe space for all of you to come and share your struggles, successes, failures, and triumphs over depression, anxiety, addiction, and mental illness. This blog is all about community and understanding that we are not alone. The darkness is weaker when we stand together. “For all the darkness in the world cannot drown out light of a single match.” Imagine what we can overcome if we all shine together.
