I feel that “liking” this could be seen as flippant, yet I’ve done so anyway because this is such an important topic to talk about and I find such solace in your courage to put these words out into the world. I wish I could help. I wish neither of us had to experience things like this. I wish the support that is so desperately needed was there for everyone who needs it.

It is incredibly difficult to find the words to describe a broken mind. And yet, your words mirror my journey with mental health - medical health - perfectly. Your stacks are an enormous comfort for me personally, but they also act as a guide. Your words have helped me find the courage to advocate more strongly for myself and my son. They have also helped me to be more succinct in the explanations and, unexpectedly, helped me connect with the med professionals we deal with. It doesn't always work because "doctors," but it is an enormous help. A simple seems insufficient, but thank you. And please don't stop.
