Today’s Su***de Prevention Awareness Walk was a SUCCESS! 💜🎗️

I’m so thankful for everyone who came out, showed love, walked with us, and supported the cause. Every conversation, every encouraging word, and every step mattered.

This is bigger than just a walk it’s about reminding people that they are seen, they are loved, and their life matters. 💜

Thank you for helping me continue to spread hope in our community. Until next year! 🎗️💜

It’s the first day of mental health awareness month and this memory popped up. I’m sitting here crying because this was such a tough year for me. God has truly brought me a long way. Not only did my car burn up in a fire I lost my job a few months later. Not only did I lose my job my lights were cut off for 3 months. I couldn’t even afford a cellphone bill so I was using text apps. Everyday I thought about su***de because I just didn’t see it getting any better. One night I texted my therapist that I couldn’t do it anymore and that I was about to take some pills and end my pain. She came from her home and picked me up and drove me to the hospital. Nobody knew the mental torment I was going through everyday. Everyday I cried and drank. I’m so glad that I chose to stay because I’m able to see that life gets better. I advocate so much for mental health because I want to be the person I needed when I was struggling. I encourage someone today that it does get better and it won’t always be like this.
