No one is unique in their struggle so much that absolutely no one will understand them, that there is no one who will not pass judgement on you, or that no one goes through or has gone through what you go through... you are not the only one, no matter how insane you may feel or think you are... #reachout #sharemystory

I am starting my training to work on the #CrisisTextLine tonight. I have done a lot of #peercounseling over the years, but I am really excited about this. I have worked on other #Crisis  #phone lines before but its very  #empowering for me. My journey in  #Recovery has been a long, sometimes painful  #learning experience But it feels good to #sharemystory . #Depression has been my enemy for most of my life but I have been  #Learningtolovemyself and in turn #givingback !

Today I feel good and I'm going to worry about just today.

I've been absolutely blown away by the amount of people that have shown me support or who have chimed in to say "me, too" with my recently published post.

It can be so easy to slip into feeling like nobody 'gets' you, that you are alone in your struggles and alone in your head. I've been there, as I think so many of us have been. Hell, I was there today.

But seeing the reactions I got from so many people really helps me not to feel as alone as my mental illnesses leave me feeling sometimes, and makes me feel way more confident in opening up more.

Sharing my story feels good, but knowing that I have the capability to help people just by sharing my own story feels even better, somehow.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your support.

None of us are alone in this.
