#fightingthestigma

All throughout my life I always looked at myself as a survivor. No matter what was thrown my way I always fought as hard as I could. Part of me would assume that more often than not other people would do the same. But the difference is some people aren't born with the instinct to fight it all. Sometimes they just scrape by or need some help. There is nothing wrong with either of those options. Hell, recently I've been really considering asking for help myself, because the truth is, whether we're made of steel or tin foil dealing with a mental illness for long enough will damage either material. The reality is that most times the people that fight and become steel are the people that don't have proper outlets to discuss their mental health, by no fault of their own. That's how they become to have such a hard exterior. We're all strong and fierce in different ways, sometimes either way can be damaging for the person. But the goal is to fight against the stigma so everyone has the right to get the help they need without judgment, or being concerned with what people will say on the matter. Just remember above all, you're not alone. Someone is always willing to be there for you and support you ❤ Keep Fighting. Stay Strong SC
