I am getting better what step at a time, one day at a time. I am thankful for the people I have met and the activities I have done because I am working on being a better me for the future. I know I still have work to do but at least I am doing the work to be a better me. I have to be better and I have to get there. Your life and your mind is important. Work on it, be active, do what you need to do to be a better you.

Everyday I feel like I can’t make it thought the day. Not because I hate my life but because I am tired of dealing with the pain that I go through each and every day…but I still do. I still make it through. the day, and everyday after that because I have to. I can’t give up the fight that I am. Yes I deal with mental illness but I have to keep going. Mental health is not a joke and it is not an excuse. Mental health is real and many people go through their own eternal battles. It took me years to even acknowledge what I deal with but I have become stronger. Each day is a struggle and each day is a pain but I take each day full steam ahead because I have to. My path is becoming clear and talking about my struggles not only hello me, but I hope it will help others.

This is the month where we bring even more attention to mental health. There are a lot of people who don’t acknowledge it or will just say it is an excuse but I am here to tell you that it is not. Mental Illness is real. It is not a joke and it is not an excuse. It is something that is taking away people from this earth each and every day. Take the time to call or text someone to see how they are doing. During this time while this pandemic is going on reach out to people. Let them know that they care and that they are special. So many are hurting inside and don’t know how to tell people. So many send signs and signals but people ignore them. The strongest person may be the one that is hurting deep inside and is waiting for someone to just reach out to them and just say I’m here”. I only can speak on how I feel and what I go through. I know how it feels to feel all alone, and to feel like nobody cares. It hurts and it eats you up inside. I know how it feels to be there for everyone but it felt like nobody is there for you. It tears you up. Mental Illness makes you feel like you are in a desert with no water and no shade and you are just trying to survive. You are not alone. That is what I want people to know. You are not alone in your feeling and you are loved. You are special and you are needed. Whenever those thoughts come into you mind, replace them with the thoughts of love and people. Family and friends. Life in general. The wind and the rain. The sun and the moon. Take all the in because that is what you will be missing and they will be missing you. Every day is a struggle. I know that because I do struggle everyday. I talk to myself to get through the day all the time because that is how I deal with my mental struggles. Stay strong and believe in yourself.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, I want us all to focus on the struggles that people with a illness deal with. Mental health attacks everyone in all walks of life. It hits us personally. If it don’t physically hit you, it hits you emotionally. I have been dealing with so much for a long time and just almost shy of a year decided to get help. I struggled, I cried, I fought and I did everything possible to handle what I was dealing with alone. I am here to let you know that you can’t do it alone. We all need someone or people that will support us and help us through our problems. Mental health is not a death sentence and it is not a black hole. Our mental problems is something that we can deal with and something that we must learn to live with. It is not something that you can be cured of and never have to worry about it again. It is something that you can learn about and , in turn, learn to help others through, Never give up on yourself and never give up on people that are struggling and fighting today. You will beat this and you can help more through this made. Never Give Up.
