My Mental Health Story - There's Hope.

I've suffered with mental health challenges the past 13 years. For me my brain crashes and what I knew I know longer know. I can't connect the dots and I have significant memory loss. The fear, anxiety and depression rushes in and it's a vicious cycle that takes me months to get out of. For me "the lights go out" in a matter of just a couple days and then they're out for months. And when they eventually come on, they come on within a day or two. It's very strange but so dark and hopeless. This is a bit of my story of the past 13 years but more specifically the past year and a half which is the longest , deepest and darkest time I've faced.

And thank you for being so open, honest, and vulnerable to share your story in an effort to help others.

I have been thinking about you and worried. I have been praying for you. I hit dark days but I cannot imagine what you go through. Know that you can always reach out to me. I can listen, I can pray, I can hug. You tell me what you need my dear friend
