A Life with mental Illness

I just want to start off and say it's ok to not be ok. This is a safe space. Life with mental illnesses can be very trying and every day is a struggle. I just don't want anyone to think they are alone. You are wonderful. You are loved. You are perfect the way you are. I for many years could not understand the concept of being loved where I am. It's a hard concept to swallow. For you it still may take time, or you have found that inner peace and understanding. It's ok wherever you are in your life's journey. From now on I'll be with you. Through thick and thin. You are not alone, everyone says right? Wrong you have felt very alone. No one understands that. Some think the occasional hi or hello is just fine. Others will tell you they are there for you and suddenly when needed most they are gone. It's a cold and lonely place when people do that. I do have to admit this I will talk about tough topics of drug use and self-harm and suicide. If you're ok with that then by all means continue if not thank you for your time.
