Hello Everyone! Some of you may know me from years past. I have been a part of this forum for three years now and have met some pretty amazing people. This forum helped me a lot to become the person I am today. The reason I am posting is because I just want to let everyone know recovery is possible and it is not something that is impossible. Everyday we face hardship whether in school, home lives, work, life in general, etc. But we are all still human beings and can get through anything we choose to FIGHT through. I have battled years of depression, self-harm, anxiety, an eating disorder, and panic attacks. Some of these still have the ability to come up in my daily life. But they do not have the control they had at one time. YOU all are such beautiful people whether you want to believe or not. To each and every one of you I am in the field of Human Services and I am currently working as a Peer Youth Specialist to help those who battle with any kind of Mental Health Challenge. Myself as well as a lot of people are fighting to remove the stigma that comes when we have dealt with the trauma, heartache, distress, etc as we have. To anyone who may read this who is going through any kind of hardship no matter what it is; just know there are people fighting to spread awareness about all these different challenges and you are no fighting alone. If I never talked to you on here and if I did I want you ALL to know you are my inspiration to fight and pursue the field of work I am in. Always remember your STORIES MATTER!!! There are people out there willing to listen. I am one of them. I hope this brightens up someones day. Stay Strong!!
