Broken and Brave: Overcoming Mental Illness | Claudia Cornelison | TEDxGeorgiaStateU

What if bravery was not reserved for the heroes who come rushing in to rescue the day? What if we appreciated the bravery of those who are fighting mental illness every day? Educators, parents and friends are encouraged to come alongside those battling mental illness in small acts of bravery. Claudia Cornelison is a political science student, published poet, a proud member of Georgia State University’s mock trial team. She has struggled with several forms of mental illness- including depression and anxiety- and hopes to use what she has learned from those struggles to help other college students and young adults. She owes much of her inspiration to her supportive family, her loving boyfriend, and her forever loyal Goldendoodle, Boaz. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I just recently accepted the fact that I have a mental illness and it's been a rollercoaster. Mental illness doesn't define me but it is apart of me.

Ms. Cornelison thank you for being brave. I know that wasn't easy. Maybe someday you may write a self help book for the thousands and thousands of mental illness persons in our world. Hope Christmas and New Years will be days were the bravery will apply. To fellow warriors who stay and fight the road will be the most challenging thing we do in our lifetime. From a fifty-five yr old who has suffered before new understanding came about. Ms. Cornelison if you ever lecture in Cincinnati on this subject , I would like to attend and listen to stories of hope and bravery.
Thank you.
June 2020 Hope things are going as smoothly as possible for you during these horrible times I pray that your bravery my bravery and others you are suffering will find our way through these dark days and nights. Peace and Prayers for Strength and Hope going forward Ms. Cornelision. From a fellow warrior in Cincinnati Ohio. Prayers for you and your family. 😃 I'm glad that this video is still posted.
