Discussing life with mental illness from my point of view. Thoughts, insights, advice and hopefully time well spent.
Once upon a time I was to stubborn to ask for help. We all have our own (insert reason here) for why we haven't, can't or won't ask for help. Over the years my reasons changed, but relying solely on myself during my most miserable times remained the same. It wasn't until after I reached… Continue reading “I Have an Idea”
