Hello family and friends,
today, October 10th is

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY!

I Have mental health issues as many of us do and I'm open about it.
We need to be able to talk about mental health and drug use/abuse, or otherwise, we'll never be able to find better answers.

Like many on my HIV LONG TERM SURVIVORS community, I suffer from PTSD and anxiety, and in my personal case depression is not my principal problem, but I know it is in many others.

For many of the people who I know through my advocacy and activism, a night of good night sleep is also almost a memory.

I miss so much those days when I used to wake up smiling, stretching my arms and feeling rested and relax.

Living with chronic pain is a constant struggle, but somehow, I smile, and I keep enjoying many wonderful things as many of us do.

I want to take a moment to honor all the advocates, activists, and social media leaders who through their own constant health battles, keep helping others.
It is an honor, for real, to be able to know so many wonderful souls.
Thanks for all your love and support, and let's keep helping each other.
