Having the ability to address your feelings does. Accepting accountability does. Cutting out negative behaviors and people do. Recognizing your mental health is a priority does. Time made me realize that wounds can become worse if I'm not proactive. Be proud of everything you have accomplished no matter how small. Time taught me that life … Continue reading Time does not heal

Your journey, your time
Being open and sharing is great for spreading awareness, but it isn't necessary if it creates further issues. Never feel required to share your story. It's yours and you have the right to share when you feel comfortable. I get some people intentions, and they mean well, but everyone isn't ready. And that's ok.

Words matter
Words that you hear from others. Words that you tell yourself. Words that you express to others. They all matter. Some may hurt. Some may heal. Validation comes from you though. My mental illness has taught me the power of words with what I will accept and what I try to put out.
