This pandemic is taking a serious stab at my mental health and I know I’m not alone. What am I going to do about it?
I’m going to blog about it openly.
I’m going to share my story without a filter, and I'm going to ask for your participation.
Today, I challenge you to reach out to someone.
Whether you’re working, whether you’re not working.
Whether you’re on the front line, whether you’re in club quarantine.
I challenge you to reach out to a person with a history of mental health.
I challenge you to reach out to a person you think might be suffering in silence.
I challenge you to reach out to the dreamers, the cynics, the lovers, and the loners.
Reach out because the mental health game is being shaken up severely right now. Along with so much else in this world...
Maybe this is the new norm? Maybe it’s all just a nightmare? I know for certain we’re in the middle of a historical moment. All we can do is remain creative and constructive, and there will be a hope for a better tomorrow.
My reason for creating a blog is to shed light on a subjects that are difficult and almost near impossible to express. My wish is that my story has the ability to reach someone. In hopes that my journey may resonate with a friend, a loved one, an acquaintance or a stranger. I want my story to help at least one person realize they are not a victim for life. That continued healing, love, and renewal are possible for all of us.
Please share this blog with someone you care about, if you believe it might resonate with them.
