how this started.

I shared a very candid Facebook/Instagram post yesterday ago about my experience with depression, rape, and the stigma against mental health.

I was overwhelmed with all of the feedback I received from people who are either currently going through something, have been through it in the past and even people who have never experienced any sort of depression at all.

Being able to connect with others, spark a conversation, bring people together, make people understand someone is like them. It was so moving, for the first time I understood the positive affect social media can have and it's something I want to continue to do.

I hope to give you someone to relate to if you're going through something.

I hope to help you understand your girlfriend, daughter, or friend a little bit better. Everyone's story is different but when we have the ability to share together, we aren't fighting alone.

Let's be real together. I hope you follow me along this batshit crazy roller coaster called life, and I hope you feel comfortable enough to share your stories with me too.

I included my post from the weekend. Please read if you are feeling low, I've been there. You're not alone.
