Lately, I've been listening to Taylor Swift's (yes, I listen to her music, don't judge me lol) NEWEST song titled "Anti-hero"... Wow... I can so relate to it! As someone who copes with mental illness myself, that song definitely speaks through to me! Yes, it may be a New Year but I will NEVER be silenced when it comes to advocating for mental health! I've been doing that since day one after I found my own voice. After I mustered up the courage to speak the truth about how mental illness works. How it functions. Sometimes though, especially with PTSD, it's so HARD to explain it towards others because that's how complex PTSD is! My goal is to create a world where NO ONE diminishes, puts down, belittles, brushes aside, says crap like, "oh, get over it!", things like that, anymore! What may seem harmless actually does MORE damage to the sufferer than being helpful. Rather than jumping down their throat, LISTEN. REACH OUT. BE SENSITIVE. COMPASSIONATE. Etc. You wouldn't put someone with a broken leg in the dark, would you, but why do that to someone with a mental illness? Think long, hard and deep about that for a second. It's 2023, guys! Let's make the world a better place for everybody!!! ♥️🌍🫂🙋🏻♀️💟❤️🔥🙏🏻 #NewFacebookProfilePic #mentalhealthmatters #itsvalid #itsreal #bekind https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-da4quz5zQ-vFfDShY-off_X_6l7qGG3zCfs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
