Issue: Mental Health

What’s going on? I have always struggled with my mental health, but recently it's been especially difficult. I completed a Partial Hospitalization Program (intensive therapy for 6hrs/day, 5 days/week, for 9 weeks), but a few months later, I attempted to take my life and spent a night in the ER followed by a week in the psychiatric unit. I'm now trying to pick up the pieces, and while I've been doing a little better, I still struggle with depression, thoughts of suicide, and the effects of sexual trauma (and the pain of having a father with stage IV cancer). I'm just so overwhelmed, and I feel incredibly lonely. I'd love to know that I'm not alone... That people care.

What do you love most about this girl? I am often told that I'm generous, empathetic, and giving. I want to work in a local community non-profit program that helps folks with substance use disorder.

P.S. Let’s send her love!
