This hits home so much for me. One struggling for so long when both sides are starting to crumble into one. One side the girl so happy, bubbly, full of life, always smiling or making others laugh. Then the other side of her. The one that cries her self to sleep at night, the one that cuts and self harms herself to keep her pain and emotions under control to keep her from crying out, the one thats hurting on the inside and feels like shes dieing, the one who thinks that speaking out wont do a damn bit of good cause its happened before. The ones that tired of feeling broken and betrayed.
I won’t be online much for the next few days. I’m going on a trip with a few people out of town. To get my mind off of things and just relax.

I like this post, I really do, but…
I think people still have a massive problem with accepting that mental health affects women AND men. Maybe it’s some outdated misogynistic notion that men are stronger than women, therefore don’t suffer, or maybe it because people generally don’t take mental health as seriously as they should.
That’s a great quote. I’m going to post it on my fb profile. The only change I will make is to substitute the word woman where it says girl.
