But don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help. Whether it’s from a doctor, a therapist, a friend, or your family if you’re lucky enough to have one that cares for you.

There is no shame in telling someone you need to talk and tell them how you’re feeling. For me it took countless nights of talking and crying until I slowly wanted to be around again. It’s important for people to know you don’t always need advice or answers, sometimes you just need to feel heard.

Stay strong!
