No more anonymity. I used to put videos on my YouTube channel and people generally liked them because they could connect with me and better understand how my brain works. I want people to know that I am a real person and these are my real struggles. It's too easy to separate or dismiss what we read and not empathize or sympathize with a person. I don't want pity or thoughts and prayers. That's all total bullshit that does nothing to help the person receiving them. I want people to be able to connect with the human side of mental health struggles.
Feel free to comment on anything you read, see or hear. This is an open forum. Ask questions or simply show support for me or someone you know that is fighting a mental health battle. I know this is a potential advertisement for negativity. I accept that as a very real consequence. However, I'll endure negative comments if just one post helps someone see the light at the end of the tunnel. That would make it all worth it.
