You are not alone. We are everywhere, thinking of you. We are united, and we have the potential to prosper above this all. We- who fight mental illness, want to help the cause, want to understand, have beaten mental illness- are all connected. We can break down the stigma, and inform the world that this is something out of your control, something you suffer from like any other illness. You can't tell a cancer sufferer to 'just get over it', and the same goes for mental illnesses. Read, learn and join my cause to overcome the stigma of mental illness.
