It's easy....

It's easy to lose yourself.

Get lost in your negatives until you're bobbing up and down in a sea of self hate.

All you see is the bad things, both true and imagined, you're:

Dumb.

Ugly.

Fat.

Lazy.

Invisible.

Worthless....and the list is endless.

If you're lucky you'll escape this place you're found yourself in. If you're not, the darkness will linger....

It doesn't discriminate, striking people of all shapes and sizes - from all walks of life.

People try to understand, try to help.

Others would prefer to run a mile than acknowledge there's such a thing. If they ignore it, it'll go away.

In the meantime people continue to struggle, kicking and screaming their way back to the light.

Asking for help is not an easy thing. The stigma and fear associated with mental illness means that for some, they will surrender and be lost to us.

Mental illness is real.

We need to admit that and start doing something about it rather than sticking our heads in the sand.
