To provide a place for discussion and examination of issues regarding Mental Health.
To provide a place where personal stores may be shared.
To foster advocacy of those with mental illness, who cannot speak for themselves.
Lofty goals? Perhaps. But anything worth achieving is going to be difficult, and if this group manages to help just one, then the effort will be worth it.
This group is open to all, but if your purpose in browsing or posting is to breed dissent or to mock, then we kindly ask that you do not join. It's hard enough to deal with things such as depression, P.T.S.D. or any other mental disorder with people chiming in about how it's "all in your head."
Yes, it is all in my head. That's the point. Why people feel the need to minimize mental health is beyond me. Speaking as someone who is living and coping with chronic depression, anxiety and P.T.S.D., I wish to eradicate the notion that if I just got off my ass and got some fresh air, or if I just think positive thoughts then it will be ok.
This group is here for those who wish to share their personal stories of mental health struggles, whether they're in the past or ongoing.
This group is here to enlighten those who may not understand, and to advocate for those who are unable.
Speak your mind.
