Sometimes when suffering it is easy to forget.DAVShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708833801261595054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055996469215313221.post-28364190346119158272012-02-17T07:23:44.717-08:002012-02-17T07:23:44.717-08:00This is spectacular!

I also believe strongly that when we "out" ourselves, we give hope to many other people who are struggling silently. I also find the statement "you're only as sick as your secrets" to be very true. Bringing mental illness into the light reduces the stigma and, hopefully, makes it easier for others to get help. Love the details in this piece too -- gorgeous.Amanda Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403995202428454176noreply@blogger.com
