FLP #134 | Homecoming to SELF (Embracing Mental Illness with Compassion)

Published: Aug. 7, 2021, 1 p.m.

I never thought or have dreamt of sharing my story from the lens of Mental Illness. I had shame preventing me from doing so and prideful as I\'ve experienced healing for my mind in the last decade. But I am currently experiencing my most recent episode of PTSD and Depression. Just in the last week I was seeing light at the end of this dark tunnel I found myself in. As I finally allowed myself to be vulnerable to reach out to ask and receive support, I was also inspired to be a voice to remove the stigma off Mental Illness. Please reach out for support and be an advocate for Self.
