      It gets better. I never understood what was wrong with me. Emotional struggles coupled with anxiety and stress. Everything came in focus when I officially had my meltdown. Medication helps. I take 800mg of Seroquel to sleep everyday. The noise goes away. I eat. I get good sleep. I know when I'm high and Low. My safe place is for me. I don't want anyone in my home. I've taken up a few hobbies to keep busy. Don't feel ashamed.

    My husbands childhood friend drank his way into cvicu. We saw him today sedated and almost lifeless. I hope he pulls through. I started crying because he is in here right now because he is afraid to get help. We lost his other friend last year to suicide, I cried so hard. Men are important, and other men need to stop putting down men with mental problems, women need to stop saying man up. We need our men to be emotionally healthy. Y’all are seen, we are on your side. Please please, get help don’t be afraid🥺

    I chose the medication. I used to take 800mg of seroquel just to get me to sleep. My Dr also gave me buPROPion 150mg to help with anxiety. Discussions about mental health and wellness comes with a stigma. The emotional pain, the realization of the source, the coping mechanisms .... the FEAR of judgement. The HIGHS and the LOWS. I experienced a significant loss which triggered my mental episode. I'm so grateful that the authorities knew exactly what to do. The healing process is ongoing. A few days ago I was a victim of an assault. A violent attack. I was stabbed 3 times. When I came back home, the voices came back. I swallowed all of my pain medication in an attempt to make the voices go away. I realized I hadn't slept in 48hrs. Everything the voices said they did: wasn't true. I cried. I cried. I cried. I prayed. I'm so scared to leave home. I'm so scared to sleep. I'm so scared to feel like I'm so vulnerable.

    In some cases I just think the doctors don't really know what's going on and if you tried to explain it to them they'll think that have some form of mental health. Because they haven't been informed.
