Dear Erik, Today is Easter and I miss you dearly. You who taught me to love you even though I knew our time together was finite. You taught me to reach out beyond myself and explore the world of dog parks, making friends with strangers, visiting new horizons, and traveling across North America in a car - just the two of us. When you ascended to heaven I grieved (and still do). My anxious heart couldn't save you. My worries about spending enough time with you and anxiously wondering if I cared enough for you wasn't able to fight what ailed you. My love wasn't enough to keep you here on Earth. Your soul went to heaven and I knew then as I know now that you look down on me making sure I still live my life to the fullest. You set me on many paths when you were alive by my side and have done the same within my heart after you went to heaven. I have so much to thank you for. I'm so fortunate to have known such a beautiful soul. I miss you so much. I love you so much. Thank you for teaching me so much and giving me the gift of living through your death; to appreciate sniffing every flower, enjoy laying in the sun, love to drive and admire the landscape, and walk enjoying every experience. I wait for the day I finally get to meet you across the Rainbow Bridge

Happy Easter, my beautiful boy. I ❤️love❤️ you and miss you so much 💙💙💙 #Easter #myboy #Erik #furbaby #neverforget #foreverloved #oneinamillion #alwaysloved #alwaysinmyheart (at Sea Breeze Pet Cemetery)

Even a weakness can be a strength #Repost @namicommunicate with @repostapp ・・・ "Dear Anxiety... There was no way I would make it in college, there was no way I could ever love myself and that I had no purpose on this Earth. 🌎 There are only a few nice things that I want to say to you. Although I hate when you are here, it makes me appreciate when you’re gone. When you leave, I appreciate the little things that I can’t do when you’re around. It makes me find strength and confidence in myself in a whole new way. I also want to thank you, because of the way you and your buddy depression made me feel, I talk about you a lot. So much that I have made friends and have helped people through tough times when you two wouldn’t leave them alone either. I have people and a support system who make sure I’m okay when you come to visit on your own time." 🌎 Share your story: notalone.nami.org ok2talk.org (youth) #StigmaFree #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #recovery #hope

#Repost @namicommunicate with @repostapp ・・・ "Being in a psych ward isn’t a good time by any means, but there’s something comforting about being surrounded by your own kind. You don’t have to pretend to be whole, to be functional. Everyone else there is broken in some way. There’s no need for you to pretend you aren’t. And sharing that goal with these people helps you understand just how imperative it is. We all just want to get better... If you find yourself needing the kind of help it provides, please consider investigating your local behavioral health center. If you need help but maybe not to that extent, please consider researching your options. There are options, I promise. Our world is brighter with you in it and I don’t want you to leave it. We are all fighting something and I hope you continue fighting. There is no shame in needing someone in your corner for this fight, and there’s no shame in admitting you cannot do it alone. Be good. Be kind. Remember that you are loved and that you are worthy of that love. Good luck." 🍃🍃🍃 Share your story: http://notalone.nami.org/ Youth stories: http://ok2talk.org/ 🍃🍃🍃 #IStopStigmaBy: Getting help from others | #StigmaFree #mentalillness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapy #medication #depression #anxiety

Do not judge

When you feel the snide remarks and side glances. When you feel the eye rolls and hear the sighs. Let them whisper. Let them judge. Keep on keeping on and know their judgment means nothing. Keep moving forward and improving no matter how slowly. What matters in the end is love and knowledge. This matters more than what anyone else THINKS. Know you deserve love and respect and your journey and path is no one else's. Therefore, be open to criticism. Be open to feedback and elements of change. Just know, what's in your heart matters more than what they think of you. #selflove #selfcare #selfworth #selfsupport #love #strength #reminder #stopandthink
