TW: For talk of depression, anxiety, grief. Hi, friends. One of the hardest things about dealing with mental illness is having to take a first step. At least for me. I tend to do better once I actually ASK for help. But that asking? Nah. Just doesn’t happen.

So I’m holding myself publicly accountable and also celebrating a small victory. I’m on the train to go have my first session with a new therapist and hoping she is a good fit.

These past three months have been brutal on my spirit. And that’s aside from the existential dread of everything happening in the world. I know grief is a confusing, unpredictable road, but most days, I feel gutted and empty.

I am trying, though. Ironically, I was in therapy last year. But my therapist moved on and ended her time with me... eight days before I lost him. Whew, talk about TIMING.

So, anyway. I’m trying to make life livable. It is exhausting being this sad and anxious all the time. Thank you to literally ANYONE who has hung out with me recently. Somehow, the act of being around people alone makes the day tolerable.

I’m being open about all this to fight the stigma around mental illness and hopefully, I can inspire even one person to take their first step, too. I believe in you. You’re worth it. I am telling myself the same thing, too.
