Having a mental illness can eat away at your entire being very quickly. It will make you give up. It will haunt your dreams. It will drive your mind crazy.
It is real. It is a silent and dark friend that carefully, gracefully, but oh so subtly walks into your life and gaslights you.
Life with a mental illness can seem lonely and impossible.
Feeling as though you've been unlovable your whole life is soul-crushing.
I do not judge anyone's darkness. Mine almost took me with it.
Sometimes, the best advice to give yourself is this:
Be kind to people. You never know what they are going through.
