May is Mental Health Month.
Mental Health Issues are often treated like dirty secrets.
Something that happens to "others."
People turn the other way.
"Mental Health" does not apply to them. They are not affected.
It affects us all.
Directly or Indirectly.
Daily.
Sometimes? Hourly.
I am a Woman
I am a Wife
I am a Mother
I am a Sister
I am a Daughter
I am a Friend
I am a Human Being
I am someone you know.
My Name is Jayne.
I am the face of Depression. Of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Of PTSD.
I am a survivor of Physical/Emotional/Sexual Abuse.
Of Rape.
Of Miscarriages.
Of Chronic Illness.
I work everyday to keep on surviving.
Link up with Band Back Together today and share your Story.
Show your support.
Do not be ashamed--do not hide. Do not turn away.
We need to lift up those in need and make EVERYONE AWARE.
Mommyhood, Wifeliness, Being an adult, Being a family, just BEING in general. Told as plainly as possible. Usually with Profanity... (and LOVE, don't forget the love part.)
