Pain does not discriminate!

I am challenged by depression, panic attacks & extreme mood swings; I take medication for all of them.  The medication on it's own does not "fix" these issues-they can become overwhelming.  The medication along with a strong support system, healthy coping tools, diet, exercise & being gentle with myself is so vital & important.

Why do I share this?  Whether or not you have realized it-we all have mental health challenges.  Any type of loss causes some level of a challenge (mental health).

So when times are tough for me, I know what hopelessness truly is!  It is so important to really see people who seem "weird, crazy, out-of-the-norm", & remind yourself that, like all of us-they are human beings too!

We can share hope by being kind, considerate & understanding to everyone we meet.

God Bless
