Food for Thought

All it takes is one person. Everybody needs somebody.

I am actively working on myself and facing my demons. I could use your help. We can help each other.

My name is Jenn and to put it vaguely, I have been diagnosed with BPD, Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD.

There is this stigma around mental illnesses that I want to work on breaking. I want to use my voice to help others. We are not alone on this journey so we might as well band together and help one another through the hard times we face. I want to do my best to relate to others and use my voice for those who are not yet ready to be heard. I am here to talk about challenges I face every day. I am here to talk about the good and the bad. But more importantly, I am here for you. If you feel like reaching out, please do. If you need words of encouragement, I'm here. If you need someone to just listen, I can do that. If you need someone to share their experiences to help you better understand yours, I'll shout them to the world. Please follow my page and help me on this journey to better ourselves and others. Help me bring awareness to those around us who may not understand what we are going through.

At the end of the day, we all need somebody.

xoxo,

Jenn

Hi Jenn! I just read your post "Isolation" and we have a lot in common... although I am on the West Coast. I'm curious why you moved so far, that is a drastic change and definitely a culture shock.

Thought I was doing some soul-searching but instead I am finding myself to be more and more depressed. Honestly, I don't know. I think I was just trying to get away from everything. Not sure it was the smartest decision lol.
