Mental illness, in my opinion is
one of the most hardest things
a human can go through.
First, because mental illness
can not be seen. It is not like
a broken bone. You cannot be
given a cast, stitches or surgery
to fix it.
Second, everyone's human
mind is so unique and different
in it's own ways. This is beautiful
but also can be a tragedy.
Third, the mind scars more
than physical scars. In fact,
physical scars can go away
as the years come. With mental
illness, it is an every day wear.
I think it is important to come
forward about mental illness. I think
it is good to create a balance comparing
help to using a crutch. I do not agree with
laziness or drama, but I believe in true help.
I also find both peace and beauty with
vulnerability.
By coming forward you are not only helping
yourself, but others as well.
It can be easy to dismiss, especially
if you have never personally experienced
mental illness. It is also easy to not believe
something you do not see.
However, just because
you cannot see it, does not mean
it is not real or valid. Let us acknowledge
the unseen and the invisible.
LESSON: As fallen humans, there is such thing as mental illness. I have witnessed friends go through mental illness. I also had a time when I was placed in danger due to someone's mental illness. This post is to encourage those to get help who need it. This post is also a reminder that God loves you and He is for you.
