Regardless of how progressive we have gotten as a society, mental health is still very taboo. I have PTSD and that diagnoses seems to be the umbrella that covers all of the mental health struggles I have faced over the years. I don’t want to scare people away, but I also don’t want to hide the fact that mental wellness is a daily journey for me. I would much rather talk about my gluten sensitivity or tell you that high cholesterol runs in my family. The truth is though, we are all so much more than one aspect of our story. We are many pages in a huge book! If can stop defining myself by one chapter in my story, maybe I will have the courage to allow people to see and love all of me.
