For this reason, I believe it is extremely important to provide support and empathy to those struggling. I feel that a lot of the times people outside want to help, but they are not really sure how, and what i have found is that there are a lot of misinformation out there. My SO was never able to fully understand and accept me when i was at my lowest, and we broke up; my parents can’t quite understand what is being depressed since I’m fairly put together; my friends think I’m just overreacting...
So, i have realized i would like to extend my help and awareness to those out there who are struggling or have someone who are struggling. I have started collecting memoirs that will soon be published, and i hope that comes to help a lot more people.

If you would like to lend a voice to this work, I’d be happy to have you. All memoirs will be anonymous. Reach out if you want to know more. Thanks fam!
