I feel the need to repost this link as I was really upset last night and felt quite alone and it made me think about mental health awareness in its current forms. I would have never dialed a number of a complete stranger from a helpline who doesnt know my story, I would never tell my family/friends as they all have so much of their own to deal with and a solution to my state of mind at the time seemed pretty impossible.That was just one night for me. People go through their whole lives feeling this way. Every person is different but personally it helps to know youre not alone and I feel if everyone was brave enough to just be honest from time to time and say that today Im not feeling ok It could help towards breaking the stigma towards mental health. Mental health has effected mine and my families lives closely and Id love for my friends and family to join me in taking a step forward for Mental Health Awareness in October, or just make a donation how ever big or small towards early intervention services. theleader.au/story/2550250/world-suicide-prevention-day-sisters-of-richelle-turpin-take-a-step-towards-helping-others/?cs=1255
